Over the last year or so I've collected Corvair 110/102/98 heads and blocks and misc. stuff for my Piet project. I have since decided to use a "real" aircraft engine. And I hate the idea of just throwing the parts in the trash.....I have (probably) 2 or 3 sets of heads, pistons, cylinders, blocks, cams, cranks, etc, etc. Free to anyone (first come, first serve) who will pick it (ALL) up. Don't ask for an inventory. I wouldn't mind taking a few digital pics and emailing them (offline ONLY) but I don't have time to dig through the stuff. I'll guarantee there's something in my "inventory" that wil be usable. Too much stuff to ship but if someone wants to come pick it up....come on by!
