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 classic 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 (among other things). The ship works in the North Sea. It has a sister ship, the "Baltic," that works in the Baltic Sea.
