OVERHAULED 1929 WRIGHT J6-7 (R760) RADIAL AIRCRAFT ENGINE FOR WACO, TRAVEL AIR, image 1
“FRESHLY OVERHAULED AUGUST 2016”
Manufacturer Part Number:J6-7 Brand:WRIGHT UPC:Does not apply

This is a very early 225 hp. Wright J6-7 radial aircraft engine, also identified as a R-760 (no dash no.).  The J6-7 was designed as a replacement for the earlier Wright J-5 and was used on many Golden Age aircraft of the late 1920s and early 1930s.  This particular engine was manufactured on October 18, 1929, three months after the first J6-7 was built and only eleven days before the stock market crashed, beginning the Great Depression.  That makes this very likely the earliest J6-7 still in existence.

 

The engine was overhauled to factory new standards by Radial Engines, Ltd. in July of this year.   That overhaul included fresh Nuchrome cylinders, overhauled magnetos, ignition harness, and an overhauled carburetor.  The engine was test run 5.0 hours and comes with logs from 1938, build up sheets, and a FAA 8130-3 form.  It has also been preserved for long term storage.

 

The engine comes with a serviceable exhaust dishpan and exhaust collector with pipes (the exhaust needs minor repair).  The engine stand does not come with the engine.  This J6-7 runs very well and would be the perfect engine for a very original Waco Taperwing/Straightwing, early Cabin Waco, Stinson or Travel Air restoration.
