I'm looking for a good R-4360-59B QEC complete. No junk that has been sitting outside for years uncovered. With logs and data plate. Runout is okay. Manuals would be nice too.
PM me with info thanks.

We've got four, but none of the dash numbers he's looking for, or in the perfect condition he's looking for.

No not restoring a C97, don't have an aircraft.
Doesn't have to be perfect, just not a massive many thousand dollar expenditure just to find out its nothing but scrap. I've known of quite a few of these with crankshaft bearing problems, as well as other major internal issues. So I'm just trying to figure out how not to get burned on the deal. I have to consider shipping costs as well.
