Re: looks good!
In Response To: looks good! ()

Thanks all.

There were a few good guesses at identifying the engine! It is a 9 cylinder Radial Piaggio P.IX RC 40 radial engine, producing approx. 600 hp at 2350 RPM. Used on WWII single-seat fighters.

The Montreal came from a second hand articles shop in Milan. I also purchased the manual for the above engine from the same shop.

Amazing what's out there if you look around.

: I wouldn't change a thing...

: engine, what engine? LOL

: nice catch and enjoy!
: cheers,
