Swap meet box o engines
There is not many swap meets down here so I made a 100 mile round trip to the next county and found this box of engines today.
Don't even know whats in there yet, but it looks interesting.

Re: Swap meet box o engines
Are you going to sell any of them? It looks like you have a very interesting collection of engines.
If you are thinking of selling any I would be interested in the Norvels.

Let's play guess the number of engines! I'm guessing 33 engines.

I counted 40 and yes they were about a dollar each.

Nice Find!
If you are selling them, I would be interested in the Dragonfly and maybe the Black Widow.

Yep, there are two. I would only need one though.
Re: Swap meet box o engines
What, nobody wants a "pipe bomb"? It will take a while to go through the box, yesterday spent an hour just removing the
head from a Medallion 09 that was frozen up. Turns out it is new, never run. The Dragonfly is new, never fueled, its going on Ebay.
Going to keep the Black Widows for my own experimentation, the Mouse engines wear out the crankcase pretty fast.
They must have been stored under a tablesaw in a wood shop, most are frozen up. Much work to make them right.

Just finished cleaning this QZ Bee, I think its from mid 60s. Has the big head needle valve, goose neck crankcase, #6 cylinder and TD head.
It still needs some work but should have seen it before!
