I'm currently trying to get comparision pics of the Rocketdyne LR64-NA-4
from the AQM-37. It was a fairly common engine - over 5K in
service and possibly matches the size of the engine with the airframe.


As Esmarelda whispered to Quasimodo "It's only a hunch, but I can't
ignore
it"


I'm pretty sure the beast we're looking at is an LR64 variant, leastways
that's close enough for me. I've sent a pic off to PWR and
hopefully
they'll own up to it as well.

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts - except for the retard on
sci.space.history who told me to do my own research. I think my
way
was a lot more educational.


I think you have it. Here's another picture, from

The Stromberg twin barrel carbie on that one would make it go like a cut
cat.
