Looking for the elusive Continental IO-360-B

[thomasdr72]

Anybody ever seen one? It's the 80/87 gas variant of the fuel injected Connie... I'm wondering if I can find one anywhere without having to build one from parts, or converting another engine to it.

V/r,

Update: Western Skyways sent me a nice quote. Unfortunately, too rich for my blood ($44k). They are a good operation, it's just a spendy engine...

V/r,

What type airplane uses the -B?

I had an IO-360KB put a rod through the case 20 years ago. It was very near to top of the TCM price list. That one hurt.

Not familiar with the -B. Lower compression, lower revving?

43 years in the engine business and I have never seen or heard of an IO-360-B. Probably easy to convert an A, C, D or K. WS price is about right for an outright purchase. Charlie Melot Zephyr Engines
