Looks very A series ish. Pretty sure its not a minor engine though. Is that a block mounted oil filter I see?

Wow. Thats been engineering some.
You can see the original filter take off, obv blocked now, and the fed pipe seems to go straight into the sump via a crude filler pipe.
Crazy stuff.
Whats on the bell-housing end? Obv some kind of marine use engine, maybe a pulley of some sort? A big dynamo?

I'm guessing that's a clutch. Possibly a centrifugal type?

Certainly seem to be A series - possibly marine - or Fire Pump use ?

Well the filter take off and pipe still look fine to me but the filler pipe is certainly different and I think Roy is along the right lines looking at the front pulley.

Thats got to be some kind of marine thing or a genny, might be worth cannabalising?
