Several years ago we started taking care of a V35 for a private owner and because I have always loved Bonanzas, I became a member. If for no other reason that to follow and become more informed about the planes we take care of and in hopes of having a Bonanza one day. Now that we are in our 3rd year as a small maintenance shop we have worked on, and flown, a hive of these planes.
I now find myself working on a old 68 D33-35 that is being brought back to life for the owners grand son who is perusing a carrier in aviation. Unfortunately, the plane has not flown since 2003.
The IO-470J with very little hours on it has been allowed to rust away and our engine shops are estimating 7 to 9 months to get an overhaul done. One of their suggestions was to use ABS to see if anyone had an IO-470N or 520-BA engine that they would be willing to sell and perform a little upgrade.
I wanted to post to peddlers form but just reading posts infrequently has not allowed me to meet the minimum activity rules.
If anyone could help me out I would be very grateful.
Thank you,
