Take a look at this eBay auction. What the huh?
:shrug: Auction says it's a thermostat housing and fan something-or-other, though I'm having trouble figuring out where it would mount and suchlike. Never seen one quite like it.

Looks to me like a fan relocater, perhaps for some industrial or ag application. Just a guess. |

I'd second that, since the auction says Lull forklift. It's similar in casting to the thermostat housing on the John Deere Hay thresher engine I got, it was pretty "beefy" with some extra mounting points (but nothing attached to them). Interesting to change to location of the fan...I wonder if it used a stock 4 blade version or ? -D.idiot |

Looks like the thermostat mounts in the same place, but the fan is moved almost parallel to the cylinder head. Must be a funky agricultural application. :shrug: |

Ahhh, okeh, I see that now. I was getting confuzzed by the shadows. |

Easier to visualize when it is rotated correctly:  I am guessing that the ear off to the left mounts on the hole in the front of the head for the upper alternator mounting bracket. Found some pictures online of Lull forklifts. One was an 81 that clearly showed a slant. Another was of a 70 that had some lousy pictures, but in one of them you can clearly see the slant six and see that the center axis of the fan is at the same level as the intake manifold: 1981 (the fan placement in this one looks normal):   1970 (look close in the second picture):  closeup of the motor:  Learn something new about slants every day! |

I've had to do this for nearly all my own photos (I'm a horrible photographer) so I have it down to a procedure ......  I'm wondering if the therm housing mounts normally and the fan winds up on the normal plane but well up. Perhaps even clearing a standard water pump and it's pulley vertically. OK, I see your additional photos show it that way, and in conjunction with a port alternator as I'd expect.
