Soak it in some Evapo rust

I think that would get rid of it completely!

That's from the Green Acres tractor.

Block of what? Rust? :D

Let me guess. An Easthope or a Vivian? Looks like a marine engine

You sure it hasn't been re-stamped.....

I found this old boat near the mouth of the Columbia River in the dunes. It had some Japanease writing on it. This engine was in the front of it, this is the only other pic I have. It was a real windy day so we hung out inside it and drank some beers. Its all open top, made of wood and covered in thin fiberglass. About 25 feet long. Maybe a lifeboat?
I dont know why the engine was in the front.....guesses?

Looks like it was two cylinders of fury. If you messed with that I hope your tetanus shot is up to date:) Cool shot overlooking the bridge.

A little fresh gas and that thing WILL run!!:D

what do you suppose that sprocket is for on the top?

Isn't the anchor normally in the front? :D

It's a "Front Drive" rice burner!!

That's from the Green Acres tractor.

Bingo! i can still the head gasket that is made out of flap jack dough. :yes:

that would look great in my Healey

a double ender like that is usually some kind of tender for larger vessels, or a work vessel that needs maneuverability and /or seaworthiness, or a lifeboat. Looks like it has a pretty high freeboard, probably intended for fairly rough water. Hard to say more without more pictures.

I don't know Andy ........... its too clean to put in your Healey ...... better throw some salt on it for a year or so before installing ;)

not being much of a sea going person ..... BUT I did stay at a best western once ;)

they had National Geo channel .... an pretty much anything that the Japanese made was for Whaling !!! a motor in the front sounds like a good way to haul in the harpoon line ;)

bet there are some great mountain bike trails out there !!! great shot of the bridge
the motor ?????? maybe get it running and make a huge blender out of it....

here's a photo of the other end, actually, im not sure which end is the front....


So it didn't have a propeller shaft? That would be a dead giveaway.

now that I think about it, it didnt. Of course, this thing had about 2 feet of sand in the bottom and was surrounded by driftwood galore...

It's for a November built LS-6 with air conditioning:D

A little fresh gas and that thing WILL run!!:D

Not sure,looks to be a diesel,injectors on top of head,looks like injection pump drive minus pump.

Im supprised it didnt walk off by some scrapper when the prices got high. No matter how heavy it is, they will find a way.

What a cool find............no idea what the engine is, but I would like to compliment you on your photography of the bridge and the mouth of the river. I set it as my current wallpaper and WOW does that look nice. GREAT JOB!! Mike

If you were near the boat when you took this pic, is it possible it was Noahs ark and the motor was up front because all the weight of the animals was in the back???

Is it a 2-71 Detroit?

Is it a 2-71 Detroit?

It doesn't look like the 2-71's I used to work on.

was it under water or is that just from the salt air?

It's the other, less well known, 'mystery motor'. Inline 2 cylinder big block, a real torque monster I hear.

Is it a 2-71 Detroit?

Definitely not a 2-71 Detroit Diesel,they use three rockers per cylinder.Plus other major differences,sleeve design,blower,etc.
