Dana 27 Rear Axle Identification
The Dana 27 rear axle was the standard WWII jeep axle. (41-45) It is also seen on the very early column shift CJ2A Jeeps in late 45′ and early 46′. This axle has solid shafts with a flange cast on the ends. These look just like a miniature 3/4 ton truck rear hub where the axle hub sticks out. (see Picture) The housing is rather boxy looking and the cover plate is almost square but with rounded corners. The early cover plates were heavy cast metal and the late ones were stamped sheet metal.
Dana 41 Rear Axle Identification
The Dana 41 rear axle was the standard production axle on the CJ2A, CJ3A, and CJ3B. This axle is what the basic jeep package came with unless it was upgraded by the dealer. This particular axle has a tall oval shaped housing with a large raised vertical portion in the cover for the ring gear. It will have the number 41 cast into the lower right support wing when facing the axle from the rear. see pictures
Dana 44 Rear Axle Identification
The Dana 44 rear axle is the heavy duty axle used by the Military and as a civilian option after 1945. The 44 was used on the stock M38, M38A1, and M170 military jeeps. On the CJ2A, CJ3A, CJ3B, and early CJ5 the Dana 44 was a dealer option or upgrade. The 44 is an off-center axle with a very large center chunk with a distinct shape. It will have the numbers 44 cast into the lower right support fin facing the axle from the rear. (see Pictures)

Engine 134L Four Cylinder Flat Head
Willys 134L Four Cylinder Flat Head The engine displacement was 134.2 cu in (2,199 cc) with a 3.125 in (79.4 mm) bore and 4.375 in (111.1 mm) stroke, a very under square design. It was an L-head design, with valves parallel to the cylinders. Initial power output was 60 hp (45 kW; 61 PS) at 4000 rpm and 105 lb·ft (142 N·m) of torque at 2000 rpm with 6.48:1 compression. The L134 was phased out by the F-head or 134F beginning in 1952. There are two different styles of the 134L. The early engine in the jeeps is a chain timed motor (Approx. 1941-1946) The later 134L was a gear timed. See Pictures. To know if you have a chain timed or gear timed motor is normally pretty simple. The chain timed motor will have a short boss or flat plate molded into the casting just above the water pump (see picture of red engine) It will also have a large boss or flat casting on the passenger side of the motor just under where the oil filter is located. This is where the serial number is stamped. (also see red motor picture) The Gear timed motor will normally have a large boss or flat plate cast into the block just above the water pump this will have the serial number stamped into it. (see first black motor picture). Most of the time on the gear timed motors there will be a nickel size round boss under where the oil filter is located. (see second black motor picture) There is the rare occasion where there is a long boss under the oil filter on a gear timed motor, This is a military replacement engine or military aftermarket motor made post-WWII.
