1977 Chrysler Turbine Engine Experimental on 2040-parts.com
Southfield, Michigan, United States
|
This is a 1976-1977 vintage 7th Generation Chrysler Turbine free rotor motor. According to Chrysler, there were SEVEN made. 2 went into modified 76 Dodge Aspens, 1 in the Chrysler Lebaron concept car, and the other 4 went to Chrysler engineers for research & development.. I believe one of these engines is owned by an enthusiast, so that would make this 1 of 3 left. The block has a casting number of 3814102. There's a number on a pad of 3344101, and another pad with the number 3814278-6, possibly the 6th engine produced? This is one of the test engines, where the test probes are still intact. NASA provided technical administration & support to the Department of Energy on this program.
The inside of the engine looks all complete, including the power turbine, the rotating regenerator, and all shafts, gears, etc to drive the accessory pulley and the output shaft. The front of the engine appears to have the air box missing, and not sure what else goes behind it, possibly the compressor turbine. I don't know what else is missing from the outside of the engine. This was an experimental engine, so I couldn't even begin to describe what's not there. The pulley spins freely, as does the rest of the engine, in sync. This is not seized up. This has been stored indoors for over 20 years. This could either be a project for the right person to complete it, or just to own a piece of Chrysler history. Either way, it's pretty cool! The transmission is just an empty case attached for display purposes. I can load this on your truck, or should be able to have it on a pallet for the shipper that the buyer arranges. I've been having issues with messages, so try KryslerKid at Y hoo if you're not successful. Thank you.
