These are being offered by the B-29/B-24 Squadron of the CAF for a donation of $10,000 per engine. Donations to non-profit organizations like we are, can be considered tax deductable but check with your tax adviser to make sure. Freight charges from Midland, Tx. to your local will be at your expence.


These two engines have been sitting around here for years and are basicly new, never run! Not that I'm saying, "go bolt it on yer airplane and go flying". They would not be considered serviceable, is that clear?
Could they be rebuilt and made serviceable? I'm sure that could be a possibility.
Anyway, for now, they are fine examples that would make fine displays of the carburated version 3350-23 and the fuel injected version 3350-59.

This is the the carburated version 3350-23. Early B-29's used these.

This one is the fuel injected version 3350-59. nearly the same as the old engines on "FIFI". I'll even throw in two injector pumps you can bolt on.
