We make no warrantythat this engine could ever run again, however, using the civilian versions\' CJ-610 Fuel controls, Air start systems and completion parts it might be fun to try.
As this was a military engine, the original electronic interface has been removed. We used AIR-START to start these engines but you can get the Civilian system (GE-CJ610) for electric start.This engine was discovered mixed in with our helicopter engines. Back in 1965 we used these J85-7\'s mostly in Reconnaissance Fixed-wing BQM-34 Drones that were developed to fly in Vietnam for Target Spotting. Those flights ended for us in the 1970\'s as our drones were then killed as Targets and we ended up with more engines than drones. This engine then went to GAM-72 Program.The GAM-72 used the McDonnell Aircraft Corporation ADM-20 Quail Platform. Dropped from a B-52 Bomber, the QUAIL was an air-launched decoy cruise missile designed to confuse enemy tracking radars. The J85-GE-7 engine could make the small Quail fly at Mach 0.75 to Mach 0.9 at 35,000 to 50,000 ft with ranges from 357 nm to 445 nm.
After the Quail program, this engine came back to us and placed in storage.
Time for this engine to go to a new home.
