Unusual engine photos

I remember having an "F" head for one of those at one time. Don't remember why or what happened to it.

 

Loudbang : re post #749 : the motor looks like a "Stagger valve Frontenac', except I thought the Fronty had the water pump on the right side inline with & in front of the magneto. Also haven't seen those "barrel-valve" Winfields(?) on a "S-V" Fronty either, or is this an earlier "16-valve-Fronty" on a"T" block?

 

I turn it over regularly, and it is a running engine, although I haven't run it in a few months. They sound just like you described. Max rated 40HP occurs at 750 RPM.

I think Pop Dreyer built an F head conversion or had one in one of his midgets. I saw the unrestored car and engine about 20 years ago at a well known collector's in Ohio.

 

Has anyone ever seen one of these Soviet Radial Engines? I don't know what they were in but presume WWII or soon after.

 

I think this one I got from Chuck Foley. Around 1960. May be wrong. That was a while ago.

 

^^^^^ 174 or 204.5?

 

For sale. Half price!

 

Looks like a 409 damper.

Thanks again, Loudbang! The twincam has a sign on the pedestal that reads "HAL conversion", & the exhaust-side cam cover sure looks like the cam-cover in your post #737 (with a blower w/Winfields on top) You seem to come up with some of the BEST(!!) pictures!!

 

What a waste. Sorry but I think it needs to go in this thread: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/the-wall-of-shame.1124770/

Lycoming flat 4 aircraft engine, upside down and back to front !
Built in the 1950's by Ralph Watson the "Lycoming special" was a very successful sports racing car. Throttle body fuel injection loosely based on Hilborn ideas, Twim plugs fired by modified flathead distributor. Drive was via a modified Studebaker gearbox, with input via the cluster gear to overdrive all three speeds. This car appears regularly in New Zealand cl***ic racing events. Very quick when driven in anger!!

Unknown and HUGE

 

Harvey's Buick junk yard, in Sun Valley Ca, had a bunch of great engines by the office and under a tree.

 

I would have to mortgage my home to go to oil can henrys.

 

Here's a GMC Twin Six 702ci mounted in an old Farmall tractor. The guy built this for the tractor pulls...

 

That is 1 of 2 propulsion engines in the German rescue tug, the "Nordic." They are 20-cylinder MTU Series 8000 diesel engines rated at 17,200 kW each... a little over 23,000hp each), designed to operate in high-flammable danger zones (such as working around a wrecked tanker that is leaking fuel) by disabling the turbochargers (a**** other things). The ship works in the North Sea. It has a sister ship, the "Baltic," that works in the Baltic Sea.
