This allowed the valves to be larger and the combustion chamber to be smaller, improving flow and increasing the compression ratio. [2] The compression ratio rose from 6.5:1 in the Go-Devil engine to 7.5:1 in the Hurricane engine, although a version of the Hurricane engine was made with a 6.9:1 compression ratio. [3]
In 1940, the Willys Quad was built to compete against the Bantam reconnaissance car for evaluation by the U.S. Army. [2] The two prototype Quads were powered by the Willys “Go-Devil” engine that turned out to be the automaker's greatest asset.

Its drivetrain was the L-head 134.2 cu in (2.2 L) with a T-90 transmission and the Dana 18 transfer case. A few M38 Jeeps were fitted with a transmission power take-off (PTO) driven winch. This feature was not used in regular production models due to increased weight on the front of the vehicle, as well as additional maintenance requirements.
The Lightning was a Willys straight-6 engine produced in the 1940s and 1950s. It was used in the Willys Jeep Station Wagon and other Jeep-based vehicles at the time. It was replaced with the Willys Super Hurricane engine.
The Jeep Tornado engine was the first post-World War II U.S.-designed mass-produced overhead cam (OHC) automobile engine. [1] The 230.5 cu in (3.78 L) hemi-headed straight-six was introduced in mid-year 1962, and replaced the flathead "6-226" Willys Super Hurricane that was in use since 1954.
The M38A1 was frequently mated with the M100 version of the Jeep trailer.The M38A1 / MD was the second post-war evolution of the World War II Willys MB jeep (after the M38 or MC; F engine Prototypes), and the first Willys Jeep to feature the new rounded fenders and hood body design that would become the distinguishing body style of the 1955 CJ‑5, and which was carried through for decades on ...
