Found this today, I thought it was interesting.

One of the pictures shows what looks like a slant with a chrome valve cover.
That was cool.

Cool Stuff.

I like the (propane / CNG?) Carbs and oiling setup used for the run-in testing as well as the Giganto Fan and ~100 Ampere alternator shown in the lead-off 1977 Photo.

Maybe that one is an industrial engine?

Yup! Motales is David Zatz' second go at a site like this, after he came to sorely regret selling his first one—Allpar—to the serially scummy VerticalScope, who promptly destroyed it. That's why this linked article looks so much like a pre-VS Allpar piece (including oopses like "Trenton also made huge numbers of another six-cylinder, where every cylinder sat in a straight line, and all were tilted by 30%". No, thirty degrees. That's not the same as thirty per cent. (if for some strange reason we want to talk in percentages, then 30° ÷ 360° = 8.33%)

Probably LP (propane); CNG is much less readily adaptable to a gasoline engine, and much harder to handle—higher pressure, etc. Giganto fan…? Looks like an ordinary production piece, a 6-blade flex fan installed on FMJR-body Slant-6 cars; trucks and vans, too. The 100A alternator shown in the pic was optional in all those applications.

It's a passcar/truck/van unit. Industrial applications typically require a whole lot less electricity; just enough to run the ignition system and recharge the battery after startup, plus maybe a couple of small lights—no headlamps, brake lights, turn signals, stereo, A/C, defogger, wipers, etc. Also, industrial applications don't usually have ducted air cleaners or power steering (pump shown in pic), and they do usually have speed governor setups on their 1bbl carburetors; this one has a 2bbl carburetor and an automatic transmission also not usually found in industrial applications. That's a factory promo pic also used in this October '76 Chrysler publication, "Chrysler Corporation's Six-Cylinder Engines", which is roadgoing-vehicle orientated (I used to have it with much better pic quality; sorry).

Too many people who were born on third base actually believe they've hit a triple.

Thanks for the insights Dan.
