Need an R-1820 F3, anyone got one available?

[Yak3]

Hi, need an early R-1820 F3 or similar. Appreciate that these are now really, really, old engines, but does anyone have a core available?

Thanks

The guy that owns Space Age Paint had a P&W Hornet out back in a crate 10 years ago. I remember he had a penchant for buying old stuff from all over. Worth a call, they're in Mesa, Arizona.

Thanks Gents, will follow up on these leads. If anyone has any other details or an engine floating around, please do shout.

the AIM School at North East Philadelphia Airport had an early 1820 but we moved our planes away more than 7 yrs ago. It part of the schools Gerry Yagen owns but might be worth a try.
