Ok, here goes...
About 2 years ago I had a chance to buy some small radial engines at a
car show, there were perhaps 25-36 inches accross, I cant remeber, I
had a chance to buy em at $40 each and there were 10 or so in various
states of disrepair, but since I had spent all my money alloted by the
wife
and I had no conciveable use for them I forgot about it. They
were I belive WWII vintage used to power either compressors or
generators. I want to say they were in the 20-40 HP range (very fuzzy
memory except what they looked like being radials and all) I'm pretty
sure they were 5 cylinders.
Now I have a project I absolutley need one for, but I cant find any
info on what they were to start looking.
Well, about four years back I was at J-Bird in Kewaskum Wisconsin. I seem
to recall they had a radial engine for sale (and a few other oddities).
Perhaps they could help?
A google search pop'd up:
