This seems to be the closest forum section for what I want.


I am looking to buy a 1951 Kaiser Frazer Manhattan four-door that was the victim of a restorer's bankruptcy.



Imagine that the guy buys the car, gives it to the restorer for restoration, he disassembles the car and goes bankrupt.


The car is now missing the engine and trans but everything else is there except possibly some side glass.


There are apparently several engines used in or compatible with this car:


1. The original Continental C226 inline six with/without supercharger


2. A Willys Jeep 250 cu in inline six


3. An unnamed four cylinder


The Kaiser forum is a waste of time. I think all the members are dead. They don't even answer when I want to subscribe for money to their forum.


I am hoping to find some Jeep collectors who might know something.


However, the Continental engine used in this car was used in some military vehicles. I'm looking to find out which ones, in case this engine also has a compatible military gearbox.


Any information available appreciated.


Otherwise I might need to find a 617.952 with gear box to put in this!


Thanks!
