292 inline 6 will do fine.
292 BHP @ 3600 is roughly 100, wood gas on this engine would be around 60, derate to 1800prm (1/3) would be about 20, bang on.

Going to go ahead with it and just hope the stink has settled form my insurance company ripping hair out of their heads. ( hope they are not on here.. bugger ) Besides this is not a heating device so should not count. What out of the junk yard specials would be considered ideal for wood gas give I Only need this time to come up with 20 hp at 1,800 rpm? I have everything in the shop for a Mike clone. Spending a few bucks for the right engine is going to be real cheep just now. I am not keen on stuck valves through pistons. ( it that ever happens... never mind ) Regards all, Charles _______________________________________________ Gasification mailing list to Send a Message to the list, use the email address [email protected] to UNSUBSCRIBE or Change your List Settings use the web page http://lists.bioenergylists.org/mailman/listinfo/gasification_lists.bioenerg ylists.org for more Gasifiers, News and Information see our web site: http://gasifiers.bioenergylists.org/ ----- No virus found in this message.
