For Sale: A 28-Liter Allison V-1710 V12 Aero Engine

The Allison V-1710 is one of the most recognizable American aircraft engines of the Second World War era. This particular example, a V-1710-35 variant, is listed for sale and retains its factory-rated output of 1,150 bhp. Buyers with an appetite for more power note that the design responds well to modification, allowing owners to push output considerably beyond the stock figure.

Displacement is the headline number: 28 liters spread across twelve cylinders in a V configuration. That scale explains both the engine’s presence in period aviation and its enduring appeal among collectors, hot-rodders, and builders of extreme land-speed machinery.

The engine is being offered through a private sale listing rather than a traditional dealership. As with any large vintage aero engine, prospective buyers will want to review its condition, completeness, and documentation directly before committing.
