Just acquired a truck that was repowered in the 1940s with a big old Continental engine. Model 35B which was Brockway's number for Continental Model 22R. The engine was made in the WW II era.

It is 501CID, 4.5" bore, 5.25" stroke. It's missing the starter and carb and one dry sleeve is cracked.

I'm thinking of repowering with an engine reving a little faster.

My question: Would Continental have used a standard flywheel and housing? The transmission is a Fuller 5A 620 overdrive. That transmission was offered by many manufacturers into the 1960s.

I'd appreciate any info on cross referencing engines to transmissions from the 1930s to the 1960s. I'll also be posting this at hcea and aths.

Thank you,

While I don't know anything about the Brockways, several comments seen/heard over the years were to the effect that there wasn't anything special about the engines, that for some reason Brockway just used their own numbers.
Just for information, in case you decide to peddle the Continental, my 50 Motor manual shows it as a P501 AND a P695 in the Power Unit column.
The letter engines (A thru Y etc) only show one Industrial number and one "power unit" number, but the 20R,21R and 22R (where my list ends) all show one Industrial number but two different "power unit" numbers (have no idea why). Good luck.

Thank you very much! Found the Oliver discussion, found the link. I'll put a message out for Brockway Bob.

Apparently Brockway wanted their own number on Continental engines. The 1942 Motors manual I have treats the two as the same. The piston out of this engine uses the Continental model number.

The other models for this same engine (22R) are Industrial, 33R; Power Unit, PR 501.

The Motors manual describes procedures for the R series as if all models are similar construction. This type of engine has a heavy boxish valve cover (Overhead valve) All accessories are gear driven.

Take a measurement of the bolt circle and the number of bolts and see if you have an bellhousing that matches an SAE standard size bell housing number. There was a web source for SAE bellhousing sizes on the Oliver form about 10 days ago. o you know who "Brockway Bob" is? Also How does this engine compare to other Continental built truck engines?
