There is a Shay on ebay, a fixer-upper. However, I looked at the picture of the engine (which is poor) and I don't see anything on it that I recognize. Would someone look at it and give me some input. Maybe I am not looking at it right.

I emailed this person and he said he thought it was a Toyota motor.

It looks like a DOHC engine, not sure if a Toyota, there are lots of different models.

5 hours left. Bid is up to 5200. Don't know whether this is a good buy or not? I thought about bidding on it, but think I will pass.

I am known for having a soft spot for basket cases, but if this was a horse I would shoot it. Take a look at the one picture, on the ground next to the car you can see the air cleaner lid and a can of starting spray next to it. Not a good sign, I would pass if I were you.

If so, what kind of motor/ trans did it have in it and why was it changed?
