I wonder if that is one of the "good blocks" merlins. If so, i'll bet an unlimited class air racer is wishing he had it. The merlins with the good blocks are almost all used up.

Who's value are you referring to....yours or his?

Those two items were more valuable to him as a mated pair.

It's not a -7 transport block. It is a very early -1 motor that was used in a boat, and has a few holes in it welded up. It isn't anything that could be made airworthy.
