Application
Dodge WC 3/4-ton series (1941-1945) with T214 engine: WC-51, WC-52, WC-53, WC-54, WC-55, WC-56, WC-57, WC-58, WC-62, WC-63, WC-64 and other 4x4 variants. Also applicable to 6x6 models with T223 engine (mechanically identical to T214, only different accessories). Production period from August 1941 to August 1945.
Installation notes
Ensure correct connection with carburettor and exhaust manifold. Use new gaskets between manifold and cylinder head. Fixing bolts must be tightened evenly according to specification (see manual). Check for cracks or fractures in the cast iron before fitting. Manifold studs may be brittle after 80 years — remove carefully to prevent breakage.
Compatibility
Exclusively for Dodge 230 cu.in. (3.8L) engines with engine code T214 and T223. NOT compatible with earlier T207, T211 or T215 engines (smaller displacement: 201, 218 cu.in.). Also NOT interchangeable with later M37 T245 engines without modifications. The T214 and T223 are mechanically identical — only the accessories (dynamo, distributor) differ.
Historical context
The Dodge T214 engine was the beating heart of more than 250,000 WC-series lorries produced between 1941-1945. This robust 230 cu.in. six-cylinder delivered 92 hp at 3200 rpm and was designed for high torque at low revs — ideal for off-road military use.
