Default Possible Bren Carrier Engine?

Hello Guys,

I purchased this engine today. By all appearances, it looks very similar to the engine shown in Illustration No. 4 Engine Assembly Top View pg 18 of FUC-03.

I welcome comments and suggestions as I do not see any identification plates.

Regards, Richard

hi Richard

it's not from a bren as the manifolds are wrong and the pulley's are single not double belt but on the plus side it will fit a bren carrier no problem if you change the manifolds or alter your downpipes.

looking at that distributor I would say it came out of a truck.

The distributor is a 46 to 48 model. it can be changed as can all the other things.
The one telling thing that says it has never been a carrier engine, is that the other hole at the rear for the oil cooler has never been drilled.
It might be a postwar American built motor.
If it is in good nick inside or rebuildable it can work in a carrier.

I think all the truck ones had double pulleys.

I think the double pulley was referred to as "commercial" as opposed to being a truck thing. I have seen numerous 1/2 tons with single pulley.
