I apologize for my bad English...
I have a some doubt about engine. GAZ M20 are cars with 4-cylinder engines, this stock engine have a 50 horsepower.(not enough horsepower in today's traffic ) but that beutiful flathead. (originally It had a 6-cylinder engine,but Stalin said that crisis began after the second world war in the country , and people cant to pay for the large consumption of 6cylindr engine gasoline (but continued to put this engines on trucks(but not a GAZ M20 )) A friend of mine puts a six-cylinder engine to his lowrider bomb.. I think it's wonderful... But I really like "V"-engines (V6,V8) I work for a company that brings Spare parts from America. We buy broken American cars (Chevrolet, Ford, GMC etc.)they dismantle them in America and send those parts that we need. I'd like to buy old american car with Carburetor engine and automatic transmission dismantled from the old American cars. (80-s .. Chevy, Ford...) but it will cost a lot of money (because delivery) Therefore, it may be necessary here to search a car with an engine and an automatic transmission. An inexpensive option is a Ford Scorpio with 2.9 v6 engineLast edited by grmz; 07-19-2015, 06:05 PM.

By the way, we have somehow brought the entire vehicle from America and it cost at that time more than $ 10,000 ( in America at the auction, its price was about 4000)
(then the American currency began to rise, and if translated Russian money now this machine is ~20,000 (2014 / 34. rub = 1$ ,but now 2015/55.rub= 1$ ) so buying an old car at copart.com is not meaningful

That is a challenging project you got on your hands, hats off! You don't see a "Pobeda" quite often.
What about a GAZ 53 V8 engine? Shouldn't be hard to find, is a V8 and is somewhat period correct."You could roll an E30 in a BMW showroom today and people would think:
Well, they finally got the 1 series right!"
3.0 L e30 ground up build

I fully agree with you. I also thinking about this engine. But my knowledge is not possible to determine the desired torque and the motor to dock with the desired automatic transmission.
I would like to simplify your task : Buy the whole system: engine + gearbox + rear axle + elecric

There are enough options, if you research. Wish you good luck with the project, I'm probably as excited as you are"You could roll an E30 in a BMW showroom today and people would think:

(Да, работы много. Но так грустно, что у меня так времени мало уходит на машину. Делается все по чуть чуть) I'm afraid I will be finished for a couple of years ( боюсь будет закончена лишь через пару лет)

When I was looking for a "victory" (Victory = POBEDA = GAZ M20 "POBEDA") , I almost give up, because they are very difficult to find the low price
(Когда я искал победы, я почти сдался, потому что они очень трудно найти низкую цену) Gas 21 easier to find,GAZ21 more and are a little cheaper.
(Газ 21 легче найти, GAZ21 больше и они немного дешевле.) When I spent some time could and not find a GAZ m20, I wanted to buy gaz 21(когда я потратил некоторое время на поиски победы... и это было безуспешно.. я задумался о покупке 21) I even went to a meeting of purchase and sale (see) gaz 21 (я посмотрел несколько 21, около 4-5 но так и не купил)Last edited by grmz; 07-22-2015, 04:43 PM.

With the torque at your disposal, you could chuck into second or third and cruise along as an auto. Also, a weird extended shifter would be sick in that car. You can swap the whole rear axle from something like a Ford Transit or a Toyota Hyace (narrower track, some come with an LSD) or an older Volvo. I've seen a whole rear subframe swap from a BMW E34 as well on a GAZ 24.

But you think logically.
By the way, a lot of people put bridges from Volvo

This wheel gas 66, a military four-wheel drive truck. My colleague bought it for mere pennies. There V8.
Now there are some problems with registration. but he was ours.
Soon it will be on the road. It will be fun. But maybe gaz 66 will not need for us, and as a variant of its motor will be installed to me ... But this is only one option.
