making a compressor engine

#1 07-16-2003, 08:36 AM

I'm building an engine from an old small compressor I bought. Anybody have any pictures or diagrams of how they did the head and govener? I am planing to use a side shaft. I already have a VW gear on the crankshaft and have mounted the distributer gear to the block. Now I just need to run a shaft up to the head, (yet to be made), and rig up everything. Thanks!

I have 3 pics that I took at the Sandwich show of two compressor engines. I don't know the owner.

Not exactly the rout I plane to take, but you gotta hand it to the person who did this. I like it! I have another compressor, maybe I'll try this way also.
