The "Super Hurricane" 226 L-Head engine has a cast iron block and
cylinder head with 4 main bearings and solid lifters. The exhaust and
intake valves are in the block, not in the cylinder head. The engine
was used in earlier Willys cars, but was first introduced in 1950 in
Willys trucks. The Willys Pickup and Willys Wagon used the 226 from
'54 until '63. There was an option 7.3:1 high altitude version
available during these years.
The 226 used between 1954-1958 has a slightly higher horse power
rating than the later 226. Note that the Bore and Stroke specs do not
add up to the proper displacement !!
