Can anyone ID this engine?

I agree, looks like JP gets the gold star! I found the picture in a
motorcross safari website that specializes in motorcross tours in
Cambodia. The engine is from a downed aircraft in that area.

Great job JP!

Thanks! My pleasure.

What you have in the picture, seems to be a French Lorraine 12 Ed aircraft
engine, circa year 1922. It is a liquid-cooled W-type engine (yes,
60+60=120 degrees most probably), but instead of 6-cylinder configuration,
it's a 12-cylinder layout (believe or not). Capacity 24,4 litres, dry
weight 425 kg. Power output 450 hp.

Check out this link. It has a picture of the engine.

Simply turn the capital "E", in the web address, into a lower case "e" for

Thanks Monty. Looks like I'm not the only one who does that.

Got a short giggle at the Allison 1710 - in metric???

Great photo and link, easy to identify by the pushrod tube.
