Looks like a Frontenac SR OHC. $$$$
If you can get it for 10K or less buy it!

The Head is SR Fronty. The cam setup is not Fronty, but...……… Interesting how the water outlet is arranged as it does not go thru the front chain case the way a Fronty setup does. With all the parts and wheels that are included with the engine, its a steal.

It sure made my putter flutter! I could stop and visit Hank. I could give it a good home. I’m packing right now. I’ll be back in a couple days……………..What’s that honey? You will leave me if I buy another toy? Not worth it.

At $5,400 plus chassis does it matter what the beastly engine is? Dual Zeniths. Doubt if its a Frontenac SOHV, would expect a logo somewhere, pictures don't match either. A one off?
