I would suggest considering donating that particular gem to an
aerospace museum which would be able to restore it and put it on
display. This piece of history deserves to be out where people can
appreciate it.

IIRC, they used two different engines in the P51: Allison V-1710s in the
early ones, and Rolls-Royce Merlins (mostly Packard-built) in the late ones.

Ayep. And they're not sure which it is yet. They can see it, but not
reach it for a good look.


The Merlin was far superior.
