wierd engine on ebay

anyone else seen that motor under volkswagOn on ebay?
it looks like an old 36 horser with the manifold and exhaust spun around but looks to have a early type 3 filler
WTF?
been sitting in a shed for 30 years apperntly

Yeah i saw that too.. any ideas??

might be a tempo matador motor or a stationary motor?

yea i was thinking stationary engine
pretty sure tempos have the motor still in indentical beetle configuration
i only jut noticed the windscreen washer hose for oil cooler lines LOL
maybe someones backyard creation for a water pump or somthing

looks like the 'oil cooler' lines are being used as manifold heater. Could it have been used in an aircraft? It must be out in the breeze if it doesnt have any cooling tin.

Hi

A lot of concrete cutters used VW motors, maybe one of them. Its obviously a 36 hp by looking at the fuel pump, but it doesn't look like it has a semi circle for the generator stand either.
