A Fighter Escort Wings (FEW) 2/3 scale TF-51D Mustang project has been spotted for sale. The listing states (in part):

For sale here is a year 2000 completed F.E.W. TF-51d, 2/3rds scale with the Chevrolet ZZ3, 350 cu.in. Engine and mt composite blade 4 blade prop!… This aircraft has only 85 hours since brand new! There is now a fist sized hole in the aluminum valve cover and a smaller hole in the left aluminum head… The cause of the hole in the head is in question: the reports say a valve stuck, causing the hot spot that burned through the aluminum head and then the valve cover, but other sources blame an exhaust leak, directed at this area from the outside as the cause. Regardless, the result was smoke in the cockpit and possibly flame, so the pilot wisely decided to end the flight immediately, off airport! Sold with technical logs for engine, prop and airframe since new, plus the journey log. And 2 boxes of supporting paperwork, including the assembly manual! And the Canadian bill of sale!… The fuselage is mounted to a cradle to support the engine and this is included. The 1 piece wing is 26’ long and manageable.

A Continental W-670-6N aircraft engine has been spotted for sale. The listing states (in part):

The W-670-6N has the A5891 crankshaft with seventh order torsional vibration damper for smoother running. This gem, sn 27350, has only 993.7 hours total time since new and 128.7 hours since major overhaul. See copies from the logbook and overhaul record for details of the overhaul including the 24573 thrust bearing. This engine was on the Stearman operated by the late Karl D. Stoltzfus of Dynamic Aviation in Bridgewater, VA, and was removed in June 2020 only because he wanted an R-680 Lycoming on the aircraft. The major overhaul was done by Holland Aircraft of Tyler, TX in 1991 and installed on the Stearman in 1995. The log book is complete since the overhaul, and indicates that it was only run for 20 hours until Stoltzfus bought the Stearman in 2014. The engine was then inspected carefully, including pulling two cylinders to take a look inside. An overhauled NAR6G carburetor was installed at that time along with a 7555T Jasco alternator. At 71 hours since overhaul in June 2016, the right magneto was replaced by an overhauled one. The engine was operated with an oil filter. This offering includes the SF7RN-1 mags, NAR6G carburetor, and 7555T Jasco alternator, along with the complete exhaust and muff system, air intake system, engine mount, cowling, oil drain lines and Y, and more, but no starter.
