Was the green diamond engine used in old willys autos the same one used in IH pick up trucks?

According to my book the Green Diamond engine was used in the Willys pickup trucks that became IH pickups. The Willys cars had a different "sleeve valve" engine.. The first IH C series pickups of 1932 were actually Willys trucks. IH eventually bought the rights to the Willys Grd engine.

Thanks for the info. Saw a real nice old Willys roadster at a car drive and owner was talking about the 6 cyl. flat head green diamond.

Hi, I am looking at purchasing a 1954 R-112. Its original hasn"t ran for several years. If it wont get running I would consider an engine change. Any information or direction on what kind of engine I could use?

Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.
