Shackleton/ Griffon Spitfire Question?

Posted by Ray Crawford on Fri Jun 28, 2002 09:00:30 PM

Hello All,

Do any British aircraft experts out there now what the major differences are between the Griffon engine used in the Shackleton and the Griffon-engined Spitfire?
I'm aware the Shack's props were contra-rotating but that's it.
How difficult would it be to adapt an ex-Shack engine to use in a Spit? Has anyone already done it? And finally, how much is an ex-Shack engine going for these days?
