Ok, I'm continually being told that cheap aero engines abound if people will only take the time to look for them.
This thread is not about just certified or formerly certified aero engines though. I would like to have builders
post about any type of engine they have purchased to use in an airplane of their choice. Feel free to provide
details not only about the original purchase price and condition of the engine, but how you found it and what its
final cost was once installed in your aircraft (or ready to install). Include a breakdown of any additional parts
or labor required to adapt (certified or alternative) the engine to your airplane. Also include what your propellor
costs and any redrive or direct drive setup. Those of you who have looked and been unable to find a suitable
engine are welcome to relate your ventures into the aero engine world. Give some specifics though, and lets
see how many of you feel you got a great or not so great deal. Alternative engine builders tell your stories
and frustrations here too.........
