Neat video! There was a local unlimited hydro builder/racer that according to my dad at one time had a warehouse full of surplus Merlin's brand new in crates. This was in the mid 60's, when you could buy them in lots from the government for cheap. They would run the crap out of them till they blew and swap in another. If a guy had only known back then, they are would be worth a fortune today.
On a sad note I have been by the old Packard plant, nothing but an empty shell now....
