Reply To: Identify 8 cyl. engine

[Author nameAuthor names are only available to PAS members.]

Looking at our Roster,’34 836A’s engine numbers all have 240,xxx and

no n with 3 numbers after it

840’s start with 305,xxx and no n with 3 numbers after it(with the

exception of 2 other listed cars).

I put the x’s to illustrate numbers,they are not actually part of

the engine numbers.I used the 2005 edition of the Roster.

I looked 1934 to 1938 and could find no 707 number sequence.P.A.

put straight 8 engines in busses,trucks,railroad motor cars(?),etc.

Also,Seagraves(fire trucks)used a close proximity of one.

Could this engine be from other than an automobile?
