I am going to look at a few old Atlantics this weekend! Any tips?

Try to avoid engines that were directly cooled by salt water. When they dry out the cylinders are badly damaged by the salt chlorides in the cast iron and are practically impossible to repair.

The Atlantics are heavy so bring a very strong guy with you.
