Need Help to ID Ford Industrial Engine

[iggstermanBMC]

Hello to everyone, I’m new to the forum so please forgive any mistakes I might make. The maritime organization that I belong to ( Buffalo Maritime Center ) has recently acquired a 33 foot personal cruiser disguised as a tug boat.
She was built in 1965 and powered by stream, re-powered in the mid 70’s with a Ford Industrial Engine. If anyone can help us identify the engine ID plate numbers we’d appreciate it.
Serial number; 361617-C18KA
Type; C3PY-6005-A
Options; SO-1060

If it’s a diesel, try a forum called old marine diesel.
Lots of good information there, and some knowledge of obsolete and vintage engines.

I'd never heard of Ford Industrial. Quick Google found an interesting article that probably isn't anything new for OP, but some may find it interesting

Looking forward to updates. Barker offers a good clue on tapping old engine enthusiasts.

†Ford “C3PY” are Ford of Britain 590E industrial engines with US ID Plates (See ID Plates below)

Try contacting American Diesel to see if he can help. He may not be able to but worth the phone call or Email. Brian is the guru there.
