Today on what’s it’s like engine episode Friday Willy’s hurricane engine which was based on the 134 go devil flathead and the 161 lightning engines, Willy’s would update both of those engines but instead of going to OHV which is where the industry was going. They decided to go a different route the F head route which is more or less a hybrid of both L-head and Ohv. F-head design puts intake valves in the cylinder head and the exhaust valves are were they would be in a L-head design, the F-head design allowed for larger valves smaller combustion chamber and higher compression

I have a 1956 CJ5 with the F head four banger right now in my driveway. I used to have a 1954 Willys Aero 4 dr. sedan with the F head six years ago. I wish it was still here.

There are factories overseas where these engines are still being used to power manufacturing equipment. You can't kill them. 💪

Good torquey motor. Had one in a Swiss Army M38A1.

Grandfather had one in an old Jeep used to plow the fields with. The Jeep was kinda unique. It had a three point hitch and power take off like a tractor .

I have a Lightning 6/3spd &OD that will be going into a '26 Ford Coupe soon. It was in an Aero Ace that the guy was putting a Ford V6 in.

WYR: I’d choose the Jeep FC for the first scenario. They’re so unique and not often seen in very good condition nowadays. As for the second scenario, while I love Jeep Wagons, I’d rather have one with the L-head six. I love the little Willys Aero, so that would be my choice.

those engines were built by Ford Brazil until 1975. The ford Brazil bought the Willys operations in Brazil and continued to produce the jeep (until 85), the kaiser aero with facelift (until 71) and the 6cyl engine

It's sad that the Willys Aero didn't have the dealer and advertising around it that even Studebaker had at the time. It was a great design, very roomy for its size and actually 5 inches wider inside than the 1953 Studebaker Sedans! Drop a Studebaker V-8 in them and they would had been a sleeper hot rod in the Rambler Rebel guise!

The 161 is quite rare .. They were used in the Willys car, the Kaiser Henry J and the Kaiser Darren ..I had relatives who had them, and they were considered underpowered..The 134 was also used as power units in air compressors and welders into the 1970s...

WYR: Jeep CJ, Kaiser Darrin. Having both of those would make me VERY happy. Many years ago I used a 1965 Jeep at work that had the F head. It was new to me then, fortunately a my dad and a mechanic I knew were able to explain the workings to me. Great coverage as always ~ Chuck

In the latee '60s, Willys Overland do Brasil made a 184 cid version of the Hurricane 6. The same engine was modified by Ford after they bought Willys do Brasil, and used in early Maverick coupes.

"F Head" is a name also given to select people.

Wyllis had a complete line up in Brazil ,Brooks Stevens redesigned our Station Wagon ,which was name Rural,redid the Aero too and even a stretch limo of the same .The 161 was enlarged to 183 3.0 L and had dual carbs .In 1976 Ford discontinued it ,replaced by the 2.3 Pinto engine.I rather have the 161 on my 76 Jeep😊

There are 2 other reasons for using the F head design. First, as well as bigger valves, bigger and better porting is possible. Second, an iron block is a better place than an aluminium or iron head for getting rid of the heat from exhaust valves. Not only is it a bigger mass, but cooled water from the radiator enters the block first and then moves up to the head. Cheers.

Love these engines.They have an interesting history!.😎

@automatedelectronics6062 28 дней назад

Hold on. The Willys Jeepster was only built from 1948-50. The Jeepster didn't make a comeback until 1966. Later it was rebadged the Commando.

It's really hard to wrap my head around any valve-in-block type engines being offered in cars as later as this one was when pushrod OHV engines had long been 'perfected' and were so much better in numerous ways. An example of the "If it ain't broke don't fix it" concept I guess. One of the tougher WYR's for me. I really like the FC's for their current rarity and oddity, but I'm a sucker for Jeepsters even if they were only 2wd. Round 2 I like the wagons too, and who wouldn't want the iconic Darrin? But the Aero is my winner here because nobody would know what it was.
