Here is another engine that has me stumped?


VW4X4

Recommended Posts

So, like the other engines I've been recovering, this one is for sale (cheap). Located in Pgh. PA.  It needs a good home.

I've rebuilt a ton of engines over the years, and these engines (at this price) can be a very good investment, if you find yourself looking for a small missing part, a connecting rod, crank, or what not....

Can anyone help me with identifying another engine?

A dead give-away is the unusual  manifolds. Note the intake its not symmetrical.  The rear is higher then the front of the manifold

compared to the exhaust manifold.  Also the exhaust manifold is above the intake, not below.  I'm guessing that would make this engine about a 1934 model year.  No identification that I can see anywhere on the engine...  Any help is appreciated.

Transmission is not floor change (column change) which would date it ~1938/39 or later.

Transmission has GM look (5 bolt top cover), but other brands/make may be similar.

Old's?  Any numbers cast into head near front (216)

Not exactly the same (click to engine)--> https://www.connorsmotorcar.com/vehicles/367/1939-oldsmobile-60-series

It's a Pontiac six, 1940 or later I think, because the older ones had an emblem cast in the side. I think 1939 was the last year for the emblem. It could be as late as 1954 (the last year they made them). The last 2 or 3 years of production had a 2 barrel carburetor, so if it has one, that narrows it down.

Now we found a Pontiac straight 8 cylinder.   ITs attached to a automatic transmission, so I'm guessing this engine is 1952-1954.  ITs big, and so is the transmission. 

 

Weather is getting in the way now, so we are not  likely to get it out of there, unless someone needs it sooner..
