I'd like to know which Type 1 motors (capacity/year) are 36 h.p., specifically complying with the 36 h.p. challenge definition of what's a conforming motor.

T.I.A.

easy way to identify is that the generator stand is part of the engine block and they were from 1954 to 1960.

Here is a pic of mine.
