If you're interested in upgrading the powerplant to a more powerful V-8 engine, I have a complete Chrysler 318 Industrial/ New process 5-speed package* from a low-hour Tucker available.
* Includes original radiator with shroud, engine with factory single point front mount, air cleaner, exhaust manifolds and accessories (no hydraulic pump but you get the brackets, pulley and belts) flywheel, clutch assembly, bell housing with bracket and slave cylinder and transmission including the parking brake system. Pretty much everything from the front of the radiator to the back of the parking brake but the hydraulic pump...
Congratulations on your purchase!
I'll confess up front that when I first saw that machine on craigslist I thought it was overpriced (and I think I said so on a thread). But having all new idler wheels, sprockets, belts, hardware, a bunch of new grousers, etc. totally changes the equation. These numbers are from several years ago, but new grousers were about $170 each, sprockets about $250, idler wheels about the same, and belts around $180. You don't need to do any math at all to realize those numbers add up very fast indeed.
The seller's failure to accurately describe the machine was your gain and his loss. And I think you deserve credit for recognizing the value and pursuing it.
Welcome to the world of rubber tracked Tuckers!

i will take it, email me with details and thank you, tuckerville minion
kind of hijacking the purchase thread, but if another pump bracket from a 318 happened to be had, I would be interested to hear of it.
I acquired a PARTS cat with the 318 5 speed combo, I got everything but the pump and bracket. I have since sourced a pump and my home made attempt at a bracket is poor.
My 1542 is alive and fine when running around solo, when I saddle up the drag and try to work the pump/belt arrangement shows its true self.....
