[SEL] Engine Identification Needed

[Dave Rotigel]

Hi Francis,
         Yup, it looks like a Hercules built engine. I think it's actually 
parts of at least two Hercules built engines that have been "cobbled" 
together. doG only knows where the mag came from! The tag (I believe) says 
"E", but the trip piece (left) on the push rod looks like it's for a WICO. 
If the engine runs I would think it's worth $5-600. Someone may think more 
because of the "unique" features, however............
         Dave
PS, Who knows, perhaps the mag is worth $500 by itself!
