Default Can anyone ID this engine?

Yes, that's it...

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.
