Condition:Remanufactured Brand:Wright Warranty:No Manufacturer Part Number:R760-E2 UPC:Does not apply

This is a complete 350 hp Wright R760-E2 engine which was nearing the completion of an overhaul by Dan Murray before he was tragically killed last March.  Dan was well known in the vintage aviation community as a meticulous craftsman and antique aircraft restorer.

With respect to this engine, Dan had overhauled and assembled the power, blower, and accessory sections, both magnetos, and the carburetor.  He had also purchased new exhaust valves, piston pins & plugs.  The cylinders are clean, have been freshly ground to +.015, and include a new set of pistons & rings.  Receipts are available for all the new parts   Since Dan was killed before finishing the engine there was no sign off of the work which he had done.

Remaining to be completed is the cylinder seat & guide work, assembly of the ignition harness, and installation of the cylinders on the power section.  We will offer our shipping discount (87% off list) to the successful high bidder.  If you have questions call Caleb at 405-433-2263.  See our other listings for more vintage aircraft engines and parts.  Thanks for looking!
