<p>I looked into building a Corvair engine for my project, but decided on a Lycoming. While looking into the corvair, I put an ad in Craigs List for a Corvair engine. I got a few local offers. You might want to put an ad in your local Craigs List to see what offers you get.</p>

I have contacted John as well. Sounds like he has a number of options including disassembled which I think WE advises against.

Hey Steve.<br />
Yes I know Brett has those two. Haven't looked at then in detail. As I understand it, he is in no hurry to sell at the moment. So I guess I am leaving that up to a second option. Plus... I kind of would like the experience of finding an original, untouched, dirty, oily mess of an engine and tearing it down then making it shiney new myself. But, my random searches have found it increasingly difficult to find that scenario at least close to home in FL. I'm not "needing " an engine…

But, my random searches have found it increasingly difficult to find that scenario at least close to home in FL. I'm not "needing " an engine quite yet anyway as I have lots of airframe yet to build. And I'd probably end up tripping over it in my garage/shop/aircraft manufactory. ;-). If you hear word that he wants to unload one sooner than later let me know. Otherwise he has more storage space than I for the moment. :-)<br />
Hope you make it back state side soon to resume work on your "Struzer". :-P (STOL-CruZer)
