That looks like a 3-71 Detroit. The 2,3,4, and 6-71 all had interchangeable parts minus the blowers, blocks and heads. They could be configured numerous ways. For example, the blocks were the same on each end so you could have the blower on whichever side you needed it. Really cool and simple design. Even had some that laid over like the slant six Dodge engines. They weren't the most economical diesels to run but, they were dependable and easy to maintain. The Navy had tons of them simply because of the ease of keeping parts on hand. The Detroits were my primary job, three of the five years I was in the Navy. Had lots of fun building and blowing some up.
 

Here's the slant six I removed from my dragster in favor of a 300 Ford 6. It could find its way into a T Bucket style hot rod. Or, it could by yours.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_straight-six_motor for those maybe interested, its based off an early Buick engine.

It is fitted with an ultra rare Lynx twin SU carb manifold designed for the 3.0 186 cubic inch engine that dates back to the late 60s early 70s.
