What do you call that, a VV-6 ? I wonder which way it was mounted on the
A/C.

2 + 2 + 2 cylinder engine?
45 degree + 45 degree + 45 degree?

What is it?

Looks like an air compressor.

Do a Google Images search on "Anzani Engine" to see some similar
configurations. I did not see a 6-cylinder
of this type, but there is a 3-cylinder (among other oddities like 6
and 10 cylinder radials).

My thoughts exactly---one bank looks smaller than the others--but that
might be the viewpoint--Incidentally, there were quite a few "W"

They look the same to me . . .
Wonder what the crank looks like - 3 main bearings?

What you have in the picture, seems to be a French Lorraine 12 Ed aircraft
engine, circa year 1922. It is a liquid-cooled W-type engine (yes, 60+60=120
degrees most probably), but instead of 6-cylinder configuration, it's a
12-cylinder layout (believe or not). Capacity 24,4 litres, dry weight 425
kg. Power output 450 hp.

Check out this link. It has a picture of the engine.

I agree, looks like JP gets the gold star! I found the picture in a
motorcross safari website that specializes in motorcross tours in
Cambodia. The engine is from a downed aircraft in that area.

Great job JP!

Thanks! My pleasure.

Thanks for the link!

About the web page:
When you click on "Aircraft Engines" to see more engines - that link doesn't
work.

Simply turn the capital "E", in the web address, into a lower case "e" for
the "Aircraft Engines" link on the Lorraine page to work. (IE 6.0 and
Firefox/Mozilla)

Thanks Monty. Looks like I'm not the only one who does that.

Got a short giggle at the Allison 1710 - in metric???

Great photo and link, easy to identify by the pushrod tube.
