Anything is possible. Though Merlins are still quite plentiful. The problem comes with sourcing items such as cam or crank shafts or components that need special treatments. At the moment, complete engine manufacture is not cost effective or necessary. But who knows in 20 years time when we have 300 Spits, 80 Hurri and 10 Mossies flying (well, we can dream can't we!!)
