Just a few PICS of the re-install of the OEM 1 BBL Carb and Intake back on OOPS! I thought I needed a 2-BBL Carb and Intake on the old girl- but it just drank more fuel. Did nothing for performance. GPS at 40 MPH with Reid Pinkham in the back .

Great motors, unique sound, had one in a 69 Jeepster ran 90mph with the little V6. Do the marine versions have the 80pound flywheel? It makes the motor almost unstoppable once you get that flywheel spinning

Those 225's had quite a history. Mopar then jeep and finally a Chris Craft marine. They were fantastic engine. I know they even went through several firing order changes as well. I too had one is a Jeepster. Yup, great engine.

I'm a Willys fan, grew up with them towing CC's. No doubt I'd LOVE to find a Jeep with the 225

Bruce, Yup, you are correct that the 225 was a GM engine. I had one of my senior moments when I stated "Mopar"!  Googling the 225 comes up with some great history especially a couple changes made with the firing order. They were trying to smooth out the engine. The one I had (my dads) in the Jeepster seemed fine but back then I was just a "kid" (16} and didn't know the difference!  It was a commander convertable. I remember plenty of off road miles I put in on that Jeep!

By what I understand- yes it's the heavier flywheel. This is what balances the crank in this Odd-Fire Motor design. OOPS! Went back and added the final pics to the 1-BBL install... must've forgot to add those
