Anyone with any information about Overland cars? I have an engine/transmission out of one i wish to make a life long project. It's a four cylinder, L head. 20s or earlier. i'm guessing a 3ish x 4ish bore and stroke. Unique design, the generator would bolt to the timing cover and the distributor is driven by the generator. I cannot find as useful of websites about them as yt is about tractors. pistons, bearings, valves, carb, intake manifold, timing gear and distributor have me worried about even getting to the point of running engine. manifold, gear, and distributor are missing, carb is rotten--who knew gray colored non-ferrous metal could "rust" away? any type of info you could provide i will appreciate, even basic hints about basket case orphan engines. it's a real basket case too, sitting on a rock pile for 60 years! should i just start disassembling and assessing? Not sure what i want to do with it when engine is restored/functional, maybe make a tractor, or do a reverse hot rod--put the old low power powertrain in the modern car, or a classic-looking kit car, or start a quest for body/etc. found out it was my grandpa's so it will have a place in my heart whatever i do, except selling of course!
