Dean,
Spent many years fretting about how to find a "good" engine when the project
is ready. This afternoon the truck arrives with my used O-360 from a 1968 Aero
Commander Lark that the owner couldn't sell. It only has 160 hrs since it's
first major. The cost? $9500, and of course I had to pay for shipping, removal
and a pre-purchase inspection.
I had no luck with Trade-A Plane, Wentworth etc. locating an engine that was
certified, undamaged and had logs.
My only point is that there may be sources for engines out there if you look
really hard. I put a "want ad" in Barnstormers and the Lark owner responded.

I'm looking for a good source for one of the new O-360 lycoming work-a-likes
(I'd also like to hear from you folks who've been flying the new Superior
engines, I've heard good things about them). I have talked with Bart Lalond
at Aerosport power (Kamloops B.C. Canada) and was VERY impressed. That was
when I lived in Oregon and I now live in Florida so I'm wondering if a shop
with Aerosport's reputation can be found in the lower 48. Anyone have
suggestions? Thanks.
I posted this to the engines list yesterday and only got a couple responses
(two "YA BABY" votes for Bart). Does that mean everyone knows and uses
engines from Aerosport power. Is there is NO shop in the U.S. than can match
his prices or customer service? WOW! RV builders, is this true? Are you
all using Bart's engines (or new Lycs from Van's)? It wouldn't surprise me
too much. Speak to me!! Thanks.

Dean: This is Doyle Reed and I'm flying a 7A that I built. I baught a new
Superior 0360, it was asembled at Americas in Colinvills OK. I have 75
Hrs on it and it has preformed flawlessly. My only complaint is after I
baught it they droped their price about $3000.00. So I'm not real happy
with Superior. If I was doing it again I would probable buy a new
Matituck engine
