Frozen 225 What to Save?

I'm cleaning out a bunch of stuff at my fathers and I have a 225 Dauntless I pulled out of a CJ5. I'm keeping the bellhousing, adapter and T-86. The engine is froze. Any recommendations on what parts I should keep? I would love to build a 225 powered flatty down the road so some parts might be useful but not sure which ones.

 

I agree with Patrick, keep it all!!

 

X3. I'd love to have another 225 for parts. You never know what part you may need. It may even be re-buildable.

 

Yep, what they said. I have a spare 225, and wouldn't think of selling it unless someone offered way more than it's worth.

 

Are they hard to find? I got a few.

 

i see them for sale all the time.*






* usually on the other side of the continent.
or in places like nova scotia......

 

Yah I'm currently up to extra 3 Hurricanes (1 froze) and 2 Dauntless (1 froze).
I have to walk sideways to get past them everytime I open the garage door.
I keep smacking my knees on them (OUCH) but they aren't going to the melting pot if I get my way.

PB Belly: I'll be coming through Rolla in a couple weeks to pick up that 231.

 

Do you remember where in Nova Scotia?
Will a dauntless bolt up to the 4cylinder bell housing?

 

No. The 225 being a Jeep engine doesn't help you much - swapping to the 225 is slightly easier than swapping in a Chevy V6, only because the distributor is in the front. You can use some Jeep factory parts, like the frame towers, but you'd have to find a CJ-5 donor Jeep.

 

I torched the motor mounts off the CJ5 frame because I thought they might be handy! O.K. guess I gotta move more stuff around so I can save the 225...and the 226....thanks guys!

 

To answer the OP, save the front cover and balancer/pulleys. If dipstick is good, also the oil pan and valve covers. Not a bad idea to follow Patrick's advice to tear it down and see what is bad. If it has an Hei then grab the distributor also.

 

It has a 2 Bbl intake on it and points distributor. I hauled 5 258's, 2 360's and an odd ball Ford FE engine to the scrappers today. 3500 lbs. $335. The Jeep gods will be angry with me...
