I had catastrophic damage to my engine with seized big end bearing causing severe damage to the engine block
Therefore I am looking for a good mid-life engine to replace my engine or re-manufactured engine.
Anyone out there in cyber space able to help.
Best regards

There was a low time firewall forward on Barnstormers last week. PM me if you can't find it. I talked to the seller, and he does not know much about it, rebuilt in Nova Scotia in 2003 I think, about 300 hours. Hes going 180hp.

Check with salvage yards. Beware of prop-strikes.
This company has sold several low/mid time engines recently... they obtain them often. Here's one that's at the higher-end of time: https://www.texasairsalvage.com/main_vi ... id1=191863
(This prop was not damaged to the point of being defined as a "prop strike" , in my opinion. See the pics.
