Depending on what you need, there are quite a few parts on Fleabay - albeit they are all overseas. But gaskets, pistons, rod bearing, rebuild kits; they're all there. Failing that, you'd probably need a specialist who deals in Jeep pickups or the Kaiser military ones, like the M715.

I'm not 100% sure about the details, but Industrias Kaiser Argentina, who licensed the engine, was bought out by Renault, who continued to use the engine in their Torino 'til 1982. Their parts may (or may not) fit yours, which could expand your parts-base.

Hope that helps a little bit... I'm impressed that you found one! I tried and failed, since they're fairly scarce here. How does it drive?
