Merlin Engine 12 cyl.
Yes I know the 170's usually use the Cont engines. but I just ran across a Merlin engine and was wondering it worth? (NEW IN A BOX) Any input appreciated.
NIB (New, In Box) means it's probably not preserved IAW (In Accordance With) the Rolls Royce Service Bulletin requiring preserved engines to be motored every 24 months and re-dessicated. It's worth very little, probably next to nothing. I'll pay the freight collect, tho'. Send it to my directory-listed address.

Local rumors are that a Tehachapi business, Vintage V12, gets 100K + for overhaul. George, maybe you remember some numbers from your tour?blueldr wrote:If you're talking about a Rolls Royce Merlin V-1650 Aircraft Engine, my guess on the value of a new one would be well over $100k.... I believe that currently overhauls are more than $50k..

I guess that I'll need to send this useless engine to Geo, freight pre-paid of coarse.
I plan on visiting the the wife of this engine in the next couple of weeks. Will see what her thoughts are about parting with it. I also let you'all know. THANKS FOR THE REPLYS
