Had this one given to me, haven't had a chance to see if it runs.

What kind of engine is that? Looks like it's got crankcase covers like ship and locomotive engines do. I'm assuming mid 50s gm 2stroke?

That looks like a 3-71 Detroit. The 2,3,4, and 6-71 all had interchangeable parts minus the blowers, blocks and heads. They could be configured numerous ways. For example, the blocks were the same on each end so you could have the blower on whichever side you needed it. Really cool and simple design. Even had some that laid over like the slant six Dodge engines. They weren't the most economical diesels to run but, they were dependable and easy to maintain. The Navy had tons of them simply because of the ease of keeping parts on hand. The Detroits were my primary job, three of the five years I was in the Navy. Had lots of fun building and blowing some up.

Right on junker39, it's a 3-71 Detroit.

Here's the slant six I removed from my dragster in favor of a 300 Ford 6. It could find its way into a T Bucket style hot rod. Or, it could by yours.

Holy cow! That is an awesome 6. That would make a really cool rat motor.

Top view of my Australian Holden 3.3 202cubic inch inline 6fitted to my 22 Buick tourer.Tthis engine is of 1981 vintage and one of the last of the "mighty" Red Engines
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_straight-six_motor for those maybe interested, its based off an early Buick engine.

It is fitted with an ultra rare Lynx twin SU carb manifold designed for the 3.0 186 cubic inch engine that dates back to the late 60s early 70s.

and this is the horrid car it come out of

The size of that one just makes me think of the fuel consumption.

Bonehead , thanks for showing the picture of the 4 duces [ frame 2 ] I have a 4 duce setup and wondered what it would look like on a motor . I plan on putting it on my 29 model A truck w /350 next spring .....

Engines, WHAT engines??

In the long run I'll bet it costs more to keep the one in the middle.
