Projects Crosley engine build

Yes they did..Not sure if just Crosley labeled blocks or all the way up to early 60's with Crofton label...Having a brain fart, can't remember the names of the forklifts..

 

Are these motors worth anything...........? I can get my hands on one.

 

Depending what it is, what the condition is, yes of course to somebody..

 

They went thru several changes over the years. depending on what they are
they are worth from $25.00 to $250 or so. I usually takes a few to make one good one.

 

FYI..
Seen advertised if someone is looking for one.
Not mine but here it is:

Looks like a six bolt flywheel crank flange and that's the best crank ever, forged and machined quite a bit on the throws..

 

I thought some of you might enjoy seeing this unique composition of Crosley parts. A horizontally opposed (flat eight) Crosley. The fellow who ***embled this little jewel is from the Jerseyville/Alton, Illinois area and brought it to a local hot rod gathering last year. It runs very smoothly.

He also has a Crosley wagon powered by an OT 4 cylinder of Asian origin. Pretty clever guy, I think.

That's crazy. From the first pic I thought I was looking at a panhard engine. Cool stuff v

 

Even looks more like a jowett engine

 

Very cool! Always wondered about making a V8 Crosley engine out of a pair of top ends

 

And that's my new learning curve for today.
Interesting engine I'd never takin any notice of, in fact I went past this thread a few times before opening it.
Sure glad I did.

 

Very interesting now that I inherited a 47.subscribed now,Thanks for info.

 

The fellow that built that flat 8 is probably Pat [?]..***eol who made the crosley engines after Aerojet made an outboard flat eight for a bit, maybe 70 hp from 88 cube, around 57/58'...They cast blocks in mirror image so the ports/manifolds could be on same side of engine by using the mirror block on one side and a standard block on the other..I'll see if I can find a pic or two.....Lucky day, ***eol flat 8 in first pic on dyno, in use it was mounted upright with outboard lower end, next is a v8 someone built and third is the sports car they raced it in..

 

Couple more...Just go here and browse...http://crosleyautoclub.com/EngineTree/Crosley_Eng_Tree.html

 

Anyone on here that could tell me when rebuilding a Aerojet motor for a Cofton Bug, Which way does the pistons go in? I'm just about to rebuild it motor but didn't want to put the piston in wrong?

 

Normal flat top, either way the pin is central.
