One of the parts I received from the guy ready to haul for scrap. What is it? . Anybody need it. Crank appears to roll very smooth. Just a little dirty

Could be a Yamaha. They used base plates like this back in the late 70's.

Looks like a Trailfire bottom end...due to the motor plate, but it could be a Sportfire. Does the base gasket match an 80's Liquifire?

My guess would be Trailfire. Sure looks like a Trailfire mounting plate

Sportfire's used an aluminum engine plate
Several Deere's
Several Kawasaki's
