Ben,
I did the rebuild myself. The core engine I bought was in a wreck and had
bent a crank and 1 damaged cylinder. The engine was 120 hrsnew. Kept
everything stock as a 0360 A1A comes from Lycoming. Standard mags and carb.
Took the prop gov off and plugged the crank. Sent steel pieces out for mag.
Had someone oversee my overhaul and got them to signed it off 0 time and
kept it certified too. The prop is a 76X58 Sensenich. Empty weight 1130#
with 3 seats, paint, full panel, painted interior.
Mike

Hey Mike
Good to be reminded of an excellent end product, and nice to hear you're
having fun. Couple questions:
Did you do the engine rework yourself (besides parts sent out)?
Anything different from stock mags and carb?
What prop and empty weight did you end up with?
