	Rolls-Royce Merlin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the 1960s John Dodd of Kent, England put a Merlin engine (some say it actually was a Rover built Rolls-Royce Meteor, which was a de-tuned Merlin without superchargers and with steel components replacing some aluminium ones) in a car called "The Beast".
		The Merlin I had a 'ramp head' where the inlet valves were at a 45 degree angle to the cylinder.
		Early Merlins were considered to be rather unreliable, but their importance was too great for this to be left alone.

		The Merlin B was tried with a ramp head to the cylinder which had improved fuel mixing and flame propagation in Rolls auto engines, and in February 1935 delivered 950HP at 11000 feet equivalent.

		This engine was the Merlin C. By this time the promise of a low-profile aero engine of 1000HP had persuaded both RJ Mitchell and Sydney Camm to base their designs around this new untried engine.

	Air Racing Dwight Thorne Rolls Royce Merlin Master -ASK THE DOCTOR-
		If Rolls Royce came up to you tomorrow and said they want to produce an improved merlin and they want your input (which they are willing to pay handsomely...).
		I'm told that the merlin block actually twists causing the crank alignment to be out with the main bearings and rods, which cause their failure and therefore the engine.
		I'm curious why doubling the horsepower (give or take) of a Merlin would not require a bigger prop to absorb the power...the props on Dago, Voodoo and Strega APPEAR to be similar to the stock ones....
