I shipped a full dressed engine. Shipping weight 540 lbs. Figuring pallet at 40 lbs, gets 500 lbs.

Jaguar/Orbital 3.2 V6 359 (61) supercharged two stroke

This must’ve been in a prototype car??
And what does an Orbital mean in terms of the engine?

Orbital was and engine similar to Wankel or rotary engines. The Orbital differs from the Wankel rotary engine
in that the center rotor orbits around the “crankshaft” rather than rotating, avoiding the high tip speeds that was
always the bugbear of the Wankel engine. The sliding and hinging vanes separate each working chamber from
the others. While it was light & compact for its capacity, it suffered from poor “cylinder” & combustion chamber
shapes and cooling issues which in the end prevented it from becoming a competitor to the traditional and well
developed conventional piston engine. It never made it to mainstream production in cars but Jaguar considered
this design for a time.
