Fred Williams’ garage-find 1961 Willys Wagon has been sitting with bad brakes and a tired drivetrain ever since a prior engine swap (Episode 37), so it was time to set that straight on this ...

This one here is a Hurricane variant with AWD. In 1954, one year after Willys-Overland's merger with Kaiser Motors, the wagon became available with the 3.7-liter "Super Hurricane" inline-six.

Behind the Willys grille sits a venerable 4.0L Jeep Wrangler engine. While it isn’t the most powerful motor option, it just keeps running and hasn’t given Jake Yeoman any reason to swap it out.
