If nothing else I can make an engine test stand out of it. I might put that intake on a hot rod and watch people scratch their heads. I's call it a broww ram intake. I found one of the missing caps for the one head. It has that high performance oil pan breather which is unique. There is a big metal plate with the specs on the generator housing. It says 30 hp. If somebody asks you how much horsepower a 4 cylinder Ford V8 has you can now tell them.
I wonder how much CFM this puts out? It would be neat to sandblast my early Fords using a flathead compressor?
I don't know what it weights. I didn't bother tying it down on the trailer. I just hope my tractor will lift it off of there?

Looks like you got the governor with it.
