I saw one of these engines on display at the Paul E. Garber Preservation, Restoration, and Storage Facility in Washington and was completely impressed and amazed. It was the end of the wars ideology that bigger is better and two is better than one theory.
This engine would be great for my Vought XF5U-1 project.

Just Kidding.

: Here's something unusual just in case anyone has the inter
: est or funds for a rare Allison V-3420 engine. It looks to
: be in good condition, as though it's been kept in storage
: or on display. The starting price is a little ambitious a
: t $30K, though. In the least, it should be saved from a pr
: obable and undesirable fate as an exhibition tractor-pulle
: r motor!
