Looking for C-85 engine

[maximumvmo]

Hello all,

Looking for a C-85 -8 (or similar) to hang on an L-2M. Of course, the lower time the better--it would be great to have accessories as well.

Email if you have information! [email protected] . Thank you!

If by accessories you mean starter and alternator then you need a -12. The -8 case does not have provision for them. I'm looking too. I've got a bunch of A65's but only have one C85-12 lined up. It's going on the first of my L-2s.

I had to buy a complete airplane to get my C85. They are extremely hard to come by these days. I kept the engine and sold the airframe.
