Neil:
There are folks on the Salt who are probably getting more thrust than that
from four drive-tires (tars)-- but it's still pretty intriguing!
I won't ask how you got it-- but I WILL ask how much you want for it--??
Also--
as I recall, N. Ajax was not as skinny as N. Hercules, but still pretty
skinny. How wide is that engine?
turbopumps, or pressurized tanks?
fuel (as designed)-- LOX & ethanol-- or what?

Joe (looking for thrust that I can afford) Amo;
Well, I have an old Aerojet-General liquid-fueled rocket engine from a
Nike-Ajax sitting on a shelf out in my shop. It has 2,000lbs static thrust
but the downside is that it consumes fuel & oxidizer at a rate of about
10lbs/second. :)
