One of the training films i saw way back when i was going to school as an apprentice, was an old scratched up Gray Marine training film showing the engine in a landing craft and the subject was how the governor worked. If i remember correctly lol
It's been setting in that spot for almost 40 years.I'd bet it would still run with a little help. It might runaway though.
That is an oldie what with the external fuel pipes on the head. wonder if it is a low block or high block? Anyone who knows what that means raise your hand! I saw a couple low blocks but never actually worked on one.

That'd be the only reason I'd want to go on a cruise.That was one of the things I was so disappointed about the 28 day Pacific cruise wife talked me into a few years back, could not get a tour of the engine room. Were they afraid I might steal the engine for my motorcycle?
Thank you, and hello from the east coast of Scotland.good bump and welcome, wolfism.
We visited some of that in 2009, we drove up the west as far as Fort William and then down through Pitlochry, across to Arbroath ( had the smokies ) and down across the Tay at Dundee, St. Andrews, and spent a couple of nights in Edinburgh.Thank you, and hello from the east coast of Scotland.
That's a shame, I had a 1950 Buick with the straight eight. Even with the Dynaflow two speed "not really automatic transmission" I think it had more get up and go than the 1962 Ford with the 352 V-8 I had a couple years after. I 'm thinking that Buick was only about a 248 Cubic inch 8 although it may have been the "big" 263 cubic inch 8!and amazingly three gas 1950 Buick Straight Eights(that one caught fire and sank).
