A friend of mine has this Overland touring, they got it running and have been driving it. We pulled the oil pan to clean it out and inspect everything. We found that the #4 rod bearing is coming apart. There was no knocking when it was running, Were thinking this is not the original engine for this car as it has a distributor rather than a mag. Any Overland experts out there? Or at least a spare rod bearing on the shelf?

I believe it is an Overland engine. This is a similar year. It has a distributor on the other side. The Starter?/generator is the same shape.

This should be a good site for help:
