Bolt Pattern (Exhaust) Rolls Royce Merlin, Allison, & Griffin engines?
Does anyone know where I can find a detail showing the actual specs on the bolt patterns for any of these engines, I have the one to measure but I was hoping to get real specs. Anyone have any drawings laying around? (circa 1940's) Packard Merlin will suffice
Those are really cool thanks but i need hard core dimensions, those are more like illustrations. They are very nice though

If your talking about the exhaust stacks they are independent pieces with two bolts per stack I don't have a set of heads handy or one of the stacks. But if you get in touch with anyone who works on these and has a part lying around they can give you the dimensions try courtesy aviation or stallion 51 aviation. Check trade-a-plane for anyone offering services on merlin engines or warbirds.

Give Western Michigan University's College of Aviation a call. They have a merlin that they use for the maint. students. Last I knew, one of the engines was ruined when a student activated the fire bottle on one of the engines. I don't know what kind of engine it was but it might be worth a call. They are always looking for this kind of stuff. It would be great if you could donate it and then write it off on your taxes or something. I guess I would call the deans office.
