i have recently acquired an old continental engine .
its was built in march 1960.
it is a horizontal crank 2 cylinder overhead valve vith 16 cubic inches displacement.
the pistons are side by side,vertical.
all made from aluminum.
has a sheilded iginition system.and 1 carb.
seems to be very well built.tag on it says it was engineered by the US military.
i beleive it is used or was used in some airplane application.
model number is 2A016-// serial is F-001361
anyone have any idea what this is and what horsepower it is at what rpm.seems like its built to rev quite high.
it is intact and has compression and the iginition seems okay,carb could use a bit of cleaning and could use oil change .
not sure what to do with it but will try to get it running.
im thinking it has about 9 or 10 horsepower.
if it is capable of high rpm it would make a sweet snowblower engine.
