That's what I see in the photos. As is the 3516.Is the big Cat a V16?
The guy who owns the yard collects old engines. He's not very successful at channeling his inner hoarder.
Here is a skid mounted pump. Guessing it's a 3-71 power plant. Note the plaque from rebuilding in 1970. Gives specs on rebuild.

I looked today and it is indeed a V-16 engine. Massive piece of machinery.That's what I see in the photos. As is the 3516.
Might be able to squeeze that into Puffin! Pretty sure one of those cylinders is way more displacement than my entire Isuzu.
Yokosuka is the site of a USN base. Yokosuka Public Works probably got the engine from the navy. From WWII and into the 1970, Detroit Diesels were the most common boat and auxiliary motor.
Yokosuka was a major base for the IJN in WWII. Several drydocks and repair shops. It's where those destroyers got temporary repairs after running into cargo ships.
