Stripped wartime production AA fitted with more powerful Dodge engine.

Love these pics - never seen one upclose like this before. Were all the frames/chassis components black?

I said above that these were fitted with Dodge engines...I take that back. I now believe the GAZ-MM still used the Soviet made Ford engine but with a higher engine compression for more power. In the USSR when a new engine came into production they often continued making the superseded engine for many years.

I assume the choke rod is threaded into a cable of some sort, for the Dodge engine?

Chuck, I was wrong about these having Dodge engines...they used a Soviet Made Ford B motor I now believe. Go to 8:35 of this video (in Russian) for view of engine:
