[bigboystoysguy]

looks kinda lika an o.s????

 

[vbgagnon]

Could you take some more pics, ie the other side, from the top in front of the carb, back side as well.

 

[vbgagnon]

I'm thinking the same thing, looks like an older version of the rg. Need more pics to confirm.

 

[imhungry114]

sorry guys i dont have any other pics right now cuz i just bought it on ebay.

 

[4u2nv]

Whatd ya pay for it? What size is it? Id say a o.s. as well. Looks like there head.

 

[imhungry114]

my friend got it for like 50 bucks and its supposed to be brand new. its a .21 and he is trying to put it in a rc10gt. its a big block right? so itll need differnt mounts right? just tell me I'm right so i can tell him.

 

[Ryan with savage]

Why not ask the seller? Or have you tried that and they didn't know either?

 

[beason]

for engine mounts hit up .21rc10gt, he has a collair .32 on his and sells the custom engine mounts for big blocks

 

[NCNitro]

got a link to the auction?

 

[Monkey Wrench]

I'm not quite sure either, but it looks OS'ish as well. As for it being a .21, hard to say. Maybe it's the angle the picture is taken from, but the carb throat looks to be too small for a BB, in my opinon at least.

If you have a link to the auction, that'd help.

 

[MonsterCowpower]

Any link to the auction? Would help

From the cooling head I would say OS.And again could be another brand with a OS look alike cooling head.

 

[olds97_lss]

I don't remember an OS BB that uses 4 head bolts... it reminds me of an old thunder tiger. It's odd that the side of the engine doesn't have a badge on it... it might just be some knockoff.

 

[dannyd]

it reminds me of an O.S also. as for it being a .21 that i can't say. it looks like a .15 to .18 size mill. do you have more pics of it?

 

[dougc]

To me it looks like a small block also does the head look up side down to anyone? I never seen a head that had a sliver circle on the top like that.

 

[Plaidfish]

the short shaft is a pretty good indication it's NOT a .21.....
the lower casting on the case isn't as nice as O.S. and the backplate doesn't have that funky lip like OS does......the Carb linkage is totally different.....probably a knock off....and probably NOT a .21...maybe a .12

 

[truthseeker]

^^^ beat me to it. i agree. the shaft isn't a .21 shaft.

 

[Dhutch]

Yeah, its odd thats there no makes name down the side even.

 

[Monkey Wrench]

OK, I have to ask, and I am not trying to be rude or difficult, but there are now two threads about this mystery engine, but neither thread starter can post a link to the eBay auction that it was purchased from.

I'm sorry, but I have to ask why the engine would be purchased in the first place without knowing, at the very least, who manufactured it? It's kind of like buying a car then asking what kind it is. I am more than willing to help answer questions, but it's tough when the only thing to go on is a picture with the question, "what kind of engine is this?"

If either thread starter has access to the auction link, it's a start.

I already let the owner of the engine to post any new info here.
