The fabled "industrial" motor...in it's natural habitat.

There is one of these at an old Air Force base here that has a Hemi on it, still runs and they won't sell it

Pretty cool!

What would you think be a mileage equivalent @ 258 hrs ?? Most likely at an idle....

Now that would round off a MoPar fanatics collection! One thing I noticed was the 2 BBL 440 intake. And all these years it was my understanding they never made one.

yea..I noticed that also...I wonder if it'a a "Mopar piece with cast numbers"?

mileage equivalent when I was in the marine repair trade was 55 miles for every hour on the meter....mainly because boat engines were either at idle or wide open...you do the math

Chrysler could have just pulled one of their 2bbl 413 truck manifolds off the shelf for this industrial engine.

That is cool. Those water cooled manifolds are way cool. That generator more that likely ran at 1800 RPM all the time. Looks to have an electronic governor too.

Question: If this is "propane" powered, why is there a 2bbl carb and a fuel line running to the fuel pump on the block? Also, there are no "propane" devices on this engine....

Good eye Bryan. I didn't notice any LP or Nat gas fuel parts either. Its pretty rare that a standby generator would be running gasoline. It could possibly be a dual fuel unit with LP with gasoline back up.
