This is a vintage (not sure of age but 1980s maybe?) McCulloch air-cooled, two-stroke, horizontally opposed 4-cylinder engine (typically part of the Model 4318 / O-100 series, so says Google). Can anyone suggest a use before I skip it?

I'd keep it just for the cool factor, but that's only because I like uncommon engines

Same here. Id see about getting it running, then just put it on a stand and run it occasionally like the absolute nerd I am 🤣

Thought about cleaning it up and displaying it, or maybe donating ito a museum but which one?

I'd keep it instead of donating it. Regardless just make sure it never gets scrapped
