Not sure if anyone here has seen this site yet. Lots of nice inside shots of
the stamping plant:

Obviously, they were removed from something. The pictures show cut
hoses. Too bad it's not a stash of R3 NOS engines<bseg>.

Mark, they never MADE that many R3 engines! (Seriously: If all the R3s
were in the same place at one time, there wouldn't even be half that
many.) What a stash indeed. BP

Multi fuel (diesel) engines from 2 1/2 ton trucks. Probably removed from
the trucks when they were upgraded to the newer National Guard Version
with the cummins diesel and automatic tranny, central inflation system
etc.(Like the newer 5 tons)

Great site. Thanks for sharing it.
Wonder how many C/K fenders (and fingers) have run through those stamping
machines?

Those engines look like Hercules Multifuel engines used in many
military vehicles.
