This motor wants to know:












THis old wreck is a few miles from my cabin high in the mountains of southern Oregon.
My pops and his cronies (very knowledgeable in old junk), have no idea what this old motor is, however there is talk it could be a 1919(ish) Buick.


Any thoughts?????

OMG! I think if you google   1920 HAYNES motor
   you will have a clue.  Looks like your photos show a cast iron upper and an aluminum lower crankcase that supported the cam? Elwood Haynes did more than build America's first car, he also discovered/invented stainless steel and stellite.  I think youv'e stumbled across an historic treasure. Although,,, it would be hard to believe that a car built in Indiana would be found in Oregon. Iv'e been hunting those things for over 50 years.

  I'll be watching this thread to see if there are any other/better guesses,
Thanks for makin my heart pound, RICK HAYNES
It's not over, it's just harder.

of note,


the lifters are contained and kept in alignment .....within a metal "block" that is then installed into the aluminum lower case.

JH- Check with Rich Fox here on the Forum. He seems to know about all those classic motors pretty well IMO.

i think i'll have to go with hotnuts. 1919 buick.
it is better to live one day as a lion, than it is to live one thousand days as a lamb. or maybe it is better to burn out than fade away.

Tradition dictates this reply.  Whats a Henway?

Get off the stove Grandad.  You're too old to be riding the range.

Same company that produced the Rolls Cannardly.  Rolls down one hill and can hardly get up the next.
Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it.
