Re: Help with P-51D-30NA
The order from Material Command to change to 1650-7 from 1650-3 was issued in November 1943. The P-51B-10 was the first block insertion accepted in February, 1944. The P-51C-5 insertion was about the same time but might have been in mid block.
Until the P-51H and XP-82, and NA-105, 105A and 105B - all production P-51s delivered after January 1944 were a.) NMF and b. equipped with 1650-7
That said, the engines were often swapped in the ETO after overhauls at BAD2 Warton, and returned to the field.
