Engine ID

I have a Durant Engine. The plate on the side says WA-554123. There are a few more pictures here http://gallery.me.com/cybernaut/100083. Could someone please help me to identify this engine or point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Pat

Re: Engine ID

Pat,

This is referred to as a W5. It was the work horse of the Star and Durant line from 1926-1929 model years. It has an output of 152 cubic inches and horsepower around 30. It also received good fuel economy. There was a contest in southern California sponsored by the Factory and dealers, the winner got 26 mpg.
