The original engine (Lycoming) and the original engine mount.

Also shown is the Lycoming engine following removal that was then taken to CA in exchange for the original type Continental that was then overhauled by Aero Engines.

As the original engine log that came with the airplane stated that it had a Continental - where did the Lycoming come from?

By the way- do you know what happened to the engine whose logboog I have got with the plane?

The original engine - unusable for restoration

It was traded in for the new engine (plus some extra cash) or did you provide ithe new engine to Aero Engine?

This seems to be the current engine before it's overhaul. Is this correct?

Where did you buy the engine from?
