Brian Dillon Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Hi I've had this motor in my family for sixty years. It has been stuffed away in a garage all that time. origanally used during WWII for an axillary Cival Defence fire pump engine, in Col Ohio. I assume it is a 1943 or older due to it being installed on the pumpers frame, that year stamped on it. It was not used then and only used once to fill a pond from a stream in 1956. It starts and runs great, but not sure what restored car or truck used these engines. I know they were the workhorse for the military during the war. Type FET-105-506 Serial 11743 Any information would would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually had separate service manuals and parts books. Chrysler continued to produce various Industrial engines for years including the 331 Hemi.

Bill Boudway Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Looks like the engine in our '26 Chrysler Model G-70 6 Cyl, 7 main bearing, 218 CID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTR Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Also worth keeping in mind, that industrial or marine application engines are/were usually designed and intended for different type of operational service than commonly found/used in automotive applications.

TerryB Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Several years ago my neighbor had to get a new well dug on his property. The truck mounted well driller was a 1960s unit with a Chrysler industrial engine running the drilling gear. It was fun to see the old beast in action! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
