You might do better (financially) finding an operational engine to hang onto your airplane rather than selectively locate individual pieces to assemble an engine.

But, that will be a 6 bolt flange. Anyone know if that's the same part number for the IO-360?

So, you are looking at 9.5K for the crank. It says exchange core charge. If yours is good use it--why exchange a good core. if it is not good there is a core-- correct? The crank is good for all 0-300 series you just have to stamp you case converted to a "c or d" engine depending if you use the angle drive starter.
Just to let everyone know I have 2 good 0-300-c ,d (6 bolt) cranks. (or complete engines-disassembled). They need to be certified but both measured standard. One has 1700+/- hrs and the other has 2000+/- (I think that is close). Don't have the logs in front of me. Ron

Continental did not care if the core was airworthy when I bought mine in 2006 for $4000. My crank was cracked 1/3 of the way around and they took it as a core, no problem. They want the old ones out of circulation so they can sell new ones.
