Runflat Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 You are probably thinking of this thread: http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?15530-Morris-Engine The engine - a six cylinder, type 'OH' - is the same as found in the CS8 15cwt and PU 8cwt. The gearbox is type 'GJ'. The CS8 had type 'GH' or 'GN'. They are quite different. In particular the CDSW box had 5 gears and a worm drive to the rear of the gearbox to drive the winch gear mounted transversely across the chassis. Don't even think about what was fitted to C8 quads - you're likely to go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil munga Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 Hi Runflat, I'd have thought the engine would have been more widely used like in the non Military Morris 3ton truck ? What might the cubic capacity be ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefano Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Cubic capacity is 3485cc, and was derived from the Morris 25 Hp. As Runflat says, the "OH" type engine was used only by the CS8, PU and CD/SW. However, I would think that a fair amount of bits and pieces would be interchangebale with the "OF" engine used in the CS11 and very early CS8 Mk 1. There are others on the forum that will be far more knowledgable than me on this. All pretty academical of course, considering the lack of spares for any of them. As I said on an earlier post, the 4 cylinder C8/quad have nothing in common with the sixes, apart from the 16" wheels and, possibly, the radiator.
