This is a K&B Torpedo 40RC gas airplane and boat engine. It has rear rotor intake with original carburetor, and includes flywheel and cooling jacket for marine operation. Also included is the universal coupler and exhaust extender as shown in the photographs. The box is original but somewhat worn, and the tag incorrectly identifies it as a front rotor engine. I bought the engine new and this is the box it came in. I ran this engine in a hydroplane for informal club racing for a couple of seasons in the 1960's and it always started easily and ran extremely well. When an increasing workload and growing interest in sailboats ended my racing activity I thoroughly lubricated the engine and stored it in a sealed plastic bag. I'm sure you can give it a good cleaning, add fuel and have a nice running engine for many years. Shipping within the continental US is $6.50
