--> Engines-List message posted by: terence.gannon@telus.net
Folks -- I am posting for the first time to this list (having been using RV-
List for years, though) and hope that there may be somebody out there who may
be able to help.
I have an opportunity to purchase the contents of a garage full of aircraft
parts, many of which are likely throw away items. However, the real prizes
appear to be two, and possibly three O-720 blocks. These are apparently
complete, albeit they have been stored for a long time, and likely were NOT
pickled.
Obviously, I don't need more than one (I'm not sure I even need that -- what
I'm REALLY looking for is an O-360 for my RV!) so I was wondering if anybody
had any thoughts as to how to go about determining some sort of value for
these, and whether it would be best to overhaul them first, then resell, or
simply find a buyer for them as is.
Any thoughts that anybody has in this regard would be much appreciated. And
if this question has been asked-and-answered recently, my apologies, and
please point me in the direction of the archive. Regards...

Terry,
Just take a band saw to one of them and you'll have your 360 with one to
spare!
Ron.

Dear Terry,
Why don't you contact the manufacturer's of the " S H E R P A " -Line of
Bush Planes. (see their ads in Kitplanes/ Sport Aviation, etc.)
They started out with the O-720 in their original version, but now they also
offer Turbo-Prop(ulsion). They "MAY" have a need or at least another lead
for the 400hp 8cyl's??
Good Luck in your quest!
Konrad

The murphy moose might also be able to use that engine. Try posting to
murphy-rebel@dcsol.com
That list has alot of people and I know the moose used the 360hp radial.

" I have an opportunity to purchase the contents of a garage full of
aircraft parts"
Catalog each item and sell them individually on eBay.com
Make sure to space the auctions at least 5 minutes apart so one interested
party can bid on more than 1 item. Sell the O-720 cases at least 1 week
apart, or ask the winning bidder if he would like more than one case, with
each additional case at the same price as the first.
The category will be eBay motors > Parts and Accessories > Aviation >
Engines
Good luck,
Linc
