wayne sheldon Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Where is it located? SOMEBODY needs to save it. Not valuable in a dollars sense, but someone will likely need it to help preserve a rare car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Albright Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 I have the photos. Will post next week while at my office. The owner has now agreed to give the motor to anyone that will pick it up for free! It’s in Ontario as per the thread above. I’m waiting for more contact info to post. Motor says BRISCOE on the side in raised letters and is 3 3/8 bore x 5 stroke. If you send me your email address to my email address I will forward you the two photos today and maybe you can post them. Let’s save this engine ! Thanks George Albright it’s a little rough but mostly complete. Definitely worth saving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whtbaron Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 (edited) From Jim: " the stamped date on block indicates that on the 21st of this month this engine will be 100 yrs old, there is no plate or numbers to indicate serial or whatever, I have had this engine apart . the carb and distributor are not on engine as I took them off, both could be rebuilt, the dist only needs a set of cap clips and tlc, the carb needs a new bowl and lots of tlc, internally the bearings look quite good but one wrist pin needs to be freed up and the pinch bolt on that same connecting rod is stripped, all the valves are there but should be replaced and the seats need to be redone, the cylinders need to be machined but the rings are all free now . piston is 3 3/8" dia and stroke I take to be 5" " From George: "1917-20 was a 24 HP motor. Final year 1921 was a 35 HP motor. Year of motor unknown. Appears to have a 3 3/8 bore and 5 stroke. Please cut and paste the owners info below with the photos . He is 50 miles north of the US border . I will email the name of town in a minute to add to the posting. Put a new posting as Free 1917-21 Briscoe engine. Must pickup in Ontario. " " Motor is located in village of Thessalon. 50 miles from the border.On Google maps the nearest large place would be Sault Sainte Marie Ont which is a cross border twin to Sault Sainte Marie Mi and I am about 1hr east of there., " Edited July 18, 2020 by whtbaron (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
