**In short** It's an individual can of a cannular combustor, a combination of can and annular combustors, from a JT8D engine powering older Boeing 737. It couldn't be part of a CFM56 model, all use annular combustors. ---- **Details** Recent Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 can use different engines: - CFM56 models -3B, -5A, -5B, -7B, - IAE V2500, - PW1100G, - LEAP All have annular combustors, single (SAC) or double (DAC ) for NOx reduction. However older versions of Boeing 737, -100 and -200, used a [JT8D][1] engine with cannular combustors, the beast you got. In cannular type, the individual combustion zones share a common annulus casing: [![enter image description here][2]][2] [Source][3].
