They are I believe either the first or 2nd offering from Enya but I think the straight intake Enya 19 was first My go to guy on Enya engines is Pat King as he is an voracious collector of them and is well versed in the history and lineage of the models. He is readily available at the Brotherhood of the Ring site or stunt Hanger. Both are control line sites. You might have a tough search for that small baloney cut muffler. your example looks almost pristine. Dennis
Dennis, interesting factoid on Fredo's early Enya Typhoon .60 engine that I never knew, and it has an interesting 6 bolt crankcase front. It must have not had much of a counterbalance on the crankshaft for it to vibrate so much. I thought the Fox .35 stunt engine vibrated a lot.
