It sure looks like the one I have. It's a 40SX-6 cylinder Atlas Imperial. It's on a skid mounted generator and is complete with radiator and is for sale. $8500. It was a stand-by unit I got from NASA. 207-576-1464.

It's a 40SX-8 inline 8 cylinder Atlas Imperial diesel. It has an Elliott turbocharger. These were low speed diesels probably about 1200 HP at 650 RPM. It looks to be about '50's vintage. These were used in generators mostly and Atlas Imperial Corp. from Oaklnd, CA. was bought out in 1951 by White-Superior Corp. which is probably who built this beauty. I have one complete with radiator skid mounted ex-NASA unit for sale. 207-576-1464.
