#14 doesn't look like any J-79 that I've ever seen. I'm with Obergrafeter, not sure what it is but the oil tank is wrong, burner can and secondary nozzles don't match either of the two patterns I'm familiar with. Also the adapters for the trailer are completely wrong for J-79.

#14 Pratt and Whitney F100 engine?

I think the picture of the F-15 next to it gave it away.

Isn't #13 and # 25 the same a Pratt & Whitney J-58?

You're correct. Both #13 and #25 are J58's.

Why does #6 say "Jacobs" on the valve cover?
#10 has 4 cylinders! A Wankel engine doesn't have any cylinders.
#12 The Merlin was the V-1650, the Allison was the V-1710. Also the Allisons in the P-39 and P-63 were direct drive. They didn't have a gear reduction unit in the nose case, the gear reduction was in a separate case in the nose.
#24 has 4 rows of 7 cylinders. A 3350 has 2 rows of 9 cylinders.

I'm surprised that Evergreen doesn't have a J-75 to put on displa with their new F-105G.

hehe, sorry, can't play, that would be cheating...

Have all those pics too from the same museum

All your shots are great by the way !

This is this answer for the test, but if any questions maybe Michel C-GNCJ can add to this as it is not impossible that I made several mistakes. I just read the signs and I really don't have any idea what is what, you all are really good. I can tell the difference piston and jets that's about it.............please feel free to correct, this will be the finished answer list, I will add corrections as you post them.....................

Sorry, #13 and #25 are J58s. The J52 is the engine that powers the A-4, A-6, and EA-6. The J58 powered the A-12 and SR-71. The sign next to the engine in its cradle is an A-12 and the other engine is under an SR-71, so there's no mistaking what it is.

Here's more on the J58 which Pratt & Whitney called the JT11D-20A -

I shot from the hip on many of my guesses so don't assume too many of them are right. I love the sound of the J-79 how it whistles. Have no idea if any of those engines are it.
#6 with the Jacobs valve covers is probably an R-755 lie used on a Bamboo bomber UC-78.
Engines of that size and WW II era include the Continental 220hp. the Lycoming, Wright and Jacobs. They all were 220 hp. or more. Training Airplanes that used these 4 were the Stearman model 75's, Waco UPF-7 series, the Fairchild PT-23, Cessna UC-78, Timm N2T-1, Navy N3N, and the St. Louis St. Car PT-15/18 (can't remember the designation. )
Does that sound right(?)

does that look better??

this is the way the signs were posted, notice eye bolt in upper left of top photo. on second set notice number "10" on engine stand. but again I have no idea if this is right....I didn't know airplanes could fly without propellers...........................

As Bdk has already stated, if the answer to #12 is what it said on the placard, it's wrong.

It can't be an Allison and a V-1650, it's one or the other (and it looks like an Allison to me) and it can't be from a P-39 as it's got a reduction gear.

I'm sure I've seen a picture somewhere of TFC's P-39 with the cowlings off but I've no idea where to look for it, or if the nose of the engine was visible.

The placard on the F100 is a bit off as well. There is no such thing as a F100-100. It's an F100-PW-100. No military engine in the modern era (since the introduction of the "unified" designation system) has deviated from that format. The Format is - Axxx-BB-xxx where A=Type (TurboFan, TurboJet, Turboprop/turboshaft), the first set of X's equals the model number, B=Manufacturer (Pratt & Whitney, General Electric, CFM Int'l, etc.), and the last set of X's equals the sub-model number starting with 100. The most recent variant of the F100 happens to be the F100-PW-229 and were installed from the factory on the late-build F-15Es, F-15Is, and F-15Ss.
