Might have to upsize the genny shed a little.

MMM didn't mention the HP, but then it probably doesn't matter LOL.

Wouldn't that make a nice mailbox stand out front of the house.

Looks like separate heads for each cylinder. Also looks like block is cast in pairs.

    HERE WE GO AGAIN!  Make 3, 2cylinder engines out of one engine!  ::)

    Or make 6, 1 cylinder engines out of one engine. Lets see:  12 inch bore and 15 inch stroke.Works out to 1696 cu.inches per cylinder! ;D

It's not to far from me either. I wonder if I could haul it home in the back of the pickup?  ;) I bet the wife might notice it in the yard thought.

Hey Tom,
 Since your backhoe has a coolant leak maybe it's a good excuse to do an engine swap?  ;D

I wouldn't have thought (gut feeling, no number crunching here) that you could run such huge pistons that travel 15 inches at 600 RPM.  Is that 600 Revolutions Per Month?   ;D
