Guest Robin Coleman Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Looks like a Continental to me, but then I am very often wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Wolk Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 What mounts to the flange on the head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Robin Coleman Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I haven't a clue what mounts to the flange. These engines were, of course, often used in industrial applications. Since the flange is cast into the head, it would be easy enough to make it for a specific application. Most of my experience with these engines revolve around welders, pumps, tractors and the like. Since I do not see any motor mount fittings anywhere else, I would think it is for that purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Rohn Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 What mounts to the flange on the head?maybe a compressor or huge generator ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friartuck Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 My first guess is the water pump and/or fan assembly. Note the water outlet on top of the head pointing straight up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Wolk Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 Somebody on another site posted the pictures. This site has a much deeper automotive knowledge base so I posted the question here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Robin Coleman Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I do not think it is likely the flange is for mounting anything like a compressor or generator, since these would be driven off the flywheel. This is in addition to the fact the pulley is only for one belt. It seems a bit heavy to be for a water pump, but then what do I know? Continentals I have seen all have a forward motor mount cast into the bottom front end. This one does not seem to have that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Dave Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) I'm thinking of maybe a fork lift. Or possibly a pusher engine for a sail boat. I've seen a lot of engines in a lot of industrial and agriculture applications, but never one that I can remember had a motor mount on the head. Some have had a raised fan because of a very large radiator. Interesting indeed. Dandy Dave!
