Alvis Leonides radial

Sad post time- I remember a few people showed interest in wanting a ground running aircraft engine last i mentioned ours.

With dad having his stroke and not being in a position to finish the engine, or even run it really, we are going to let it go. If anyone is still interested, drop me a message!

Sorry to hear about your Dad
That should be fitted in an old car, I love to see some of the feats of engineering that people have done with old aircraft engines.

What’s the physical size? I’m kinda excited about a stupid project but for my benefit to make a change
