Yes but some of these won't start unless ALL SIX GPs are functioning. Mostly depends on the compression. If it's been sitting a long while the rings could have dried out = low compression = no start.

Careful now, if the GPs are operating and glowing hot you DO NOT want to use ether-- BIG explosion! The wrong kind lol.

A very interesting project.
There was a 1940's original Willys Jeep behind a building where I used to go, sat there for about 6 yrs with engine out in trunk, bad cond, some rust too, interior gone, etc but it looked like a d24 would fit with some modifications.
I always thought of the idea of d24-ing one of them.

Good luck and keep posting the evolution. It will be a fun car with good enough power.
