Default Re: Slightly Modified 55 Chevy on Ebay

Rolls Royce Merlin. Engine out of a Spitfire fighter plane from WWII. I think early P-51s had them too, before they switched to Allisons in the D model (?) hence it being in this P-51 replicar. They were also the engine of choice for Unlimited Hydroplanes before the advent of helicopter turbines. Damn cool all the way around!!
