The P51 engine (if that's what it is) would be almost priceless. Heads or

Oh come off it! They're not cheap, but they're hardly "priceless". A
few tens of thousand, depending on model and condition.

If you want a Merlin (Hey, I'm a Brit), there are two dealers for them
and their spares within an hour's drive of my house. And that's not
counting R-R themselves, who are just down the road.

One possible problem. The P51 used a Packard Merlin. As far as I know, many
parts were not interchangeable with the RR Merlin.
