Acme Diesel has a new home

Post by LocomotiveBreath »

The acme Diesel has a new home, my buddy and local electronics expert took the engine off my hands and in turn he made me take this home.

For others in the forum that might be interested, Specs can be found on this site, Look for ADN 43W

I meant TANK in a good way.

The starter looks massive and I'm sure there's one massive crankshaft support bearing in that casting.

Define the slang term TANK!

Post by LocomotiveBreath »

I'm pretty sure I know the slang term for tank, I also know the meaning of of the phrase BACK PEDDLE!

Note: this Supercharged Small Block Chevy powered Nash is being run on CNG(compressed natural gas)

Back to the engine, since I really have little invested into her, I'd like to find someone that would like to have her. A learning tool so to speak, I was thinking of $50 + shipping, maybe or donate it to a school or individual that could use it. A good karma jesture. Let me know.

I love the idea of having an Acme engine, reminds me of Saturday morning cartoons when I was a kid (when cartoons were loony toons and merry melodies, not some Japanese crud), on my gas tank I'd have ACME in big bold letters and have a picture of road runner above it. :lol:
