Thank you for the link Jeff!
What id funny is that the engine is the same but the configuration is not exactly the same as mine. For example on mine the tank on the upper right (cooling fluid tank if I base on my own engine) is not there on mine as I have fresh water cooling. Looks likes this one was not in a boat.
With some research and a very valuable help from Ski in NC I found out that the acadia AD30 is based on Hercules engine which was used in military US trucks. There are different configurations of this engine and it was used to run trucks, water pump or generators for troups. For what I found it is a beast that is supposed to run forever on anything that could be burned. I found people that were able to run it using old used engine oil! ( yes I know not environmental friendly).
If anybody is interested I found the owner manual which can be helpful.
I just hope this baby will live longer than me as it looks like a piece of history.
