I found some very crusty Hall-Scott V-12s in Los Angeles last week I am hoping to find a V-12 to use in a boat project preferably a Packard Rolls-Royce like used on the landing craft an information on rebuilding one of these mega motors would be really appreacated.
Thank You

Hi Kevin,
i have manuals on the Hall Scott Defender v12s, can possibly assist.
Do you have any images of the engine that you can share?
Are you going to buy the engines, if not are they for sale and roughly how much?

Sorry I left my camera in Phoenix that day all of the engines are for sale
there are about eight V-12s and one Six two of the twelve's are industrial
and the rest are marine plus a small truck load of spare parts most of the
engines are in crusty shape I am looking at getting one of them. and enough
parts to fix it i have a manual already from Hall-Scott from the factory
(original I think)
As is where is around three thousand I think but will have to check with the
owner as that was my price |

Thanks for reply,
My dad worked on them, we would love to get one and run it. If you need any "experience" to get it running get back to me and I'll ask dad.

For those of you who are interested, we have a Hall-Scott Defender engine on display at the TOWE Auto Museum in Sacramento, Ca. It is in prime condition. It is not for sale, but is great to see. The grandson of Mr. Scott has been to the museum to see it. |

Hi Lew,

Take care,

Looking for set of two Hall-Scott Defender twelve cylinder marine engines and gears. The Canadian Marine Heritage Museum is restoring Royal Canadian Navy Fairmile Q051 to fully operational condition for the Canadian Navy Centennial in 2010. It will be the only ship left from RCN operational. Manuals, info. also required. Sterling Admirals were also used but not in this boat. 80 Faimiles were built in Canada (160) engines should have history in Canada. Drew Baird Phone (519) 583-2440, Thanks |

Your picture looks like a pre-Korean era model 2268 (based upon the aux pump dead center in pic and distributor type). This should be a right hand (normal Marine) rotation engine. The intake manifold from this pic looks good. So many of them are rotted out from the water plenum, rusting from the inside out and destroying the entire manifold except the for the cylinder runners.

Greetings Lister,
You should contact Drew (4th post up) and see if they are still looking for a pair.
What model and serial number is your engine? Military or Civilian?
Two 12 cyl or four 6 cyl distributors?
Right hand or left hand rotation?
Any idea what you are asking?
Cheers,
Lew "The West Coast Sterling Guy" |

Gentlemen,
Mr. Dobbins told me about this site and it sure is nice to see an intrest in Hall Scott Engines.
Me and my partners purchased the name & trademark for Hall Scott this past year and want to make a couple HS models of engines one being the 590 & maybe a horizontal.
Looking for any contact info ( names & numbers) you can pass my way concerning the sale of V-12's, Invader's, LM-6 & Truck Hall Scott's.
Thanks,
Spike

I got a phone call from Mr Robertson last week conferming the sale of the engines he had in L.A.
Hi Kevin,
I ended up buying the Hall Scott engines John Robertson had in Riverside. Thanks for the lead!
Any idea if the V12 in Texas ever got sold? It looked like a good core.
How about the 6 cylinder in Pecos?
Thanks again!

Im new to this forum and am located in Sydney Australia. I have a passion for antique boats and engines. I just picked up two Defenders (1 supposedly running). Man they are heavy my poor truck suffered getting one home. I didnt even try to put the other on my car trailer (ill get it next week). I also have several other cool engines in my boats. One is Rolls Merlin Powered and another that I just bought has a real early Universal six (dated 1923) but the motor has a corroded block (hopefully repairable). The place I got them from may have a manual for it but Im hoping if I dont do any good to get info to make the better one run on a stand. Anyone done this on this forum |

Hello I am new to this web site
Our museum has 2 Hall Scott Marine V-12 engines. Any interested parties please contact dshannon@battleshipcove.org
We would prefer that they go to a museum setting or restored vessel.
