Hi,After finding out that the crankshaft for my C-85 was out of limits, Isourced a complete A-75-8 engine in BC for $1500 CDN with a good, taggedcrank ( the engine was disassembled ) and a prop. Yesterday we got homefrom the 14 hr round trip to BC with the engine tucked away in the back ofthe truck. The engine was better than I could have hoped. I was expecting a taperedA-65/A-75 crankshaft. Instead, it had been overhauled sometime in the pastand a FLANGED C-85 had been installed. This was a common practice backwhen the C-85 was still in production and the A-75 was discontinued. Thepart numbers are identical between the 2 cranks. I should have guessedthat it was a flanged crank when I heard that it came with an aluminumprop. The aluminum props not commonly used used with the tapered shaftfrom what I've been told.I also got a box full of NEW parts. He had purchased a lot of the gaskets,hoses, clamps, rubber bits, etc to do his overhaul and never used them. So, now I have a bunch of A-75 (also simular to A-65) parts that I can'tuse available for sale:1 crankcase with rear cover (requires line bore I believe)4 Cylinders at + 0.015" (one is marginal), includes new ring set andthey've already been honed.2 Bendix Schintilla Mags and shielded harness (electric equipped C-85'sturn the mags in the opposite direction.1 camshaft and liftersGears for crank and camshaft4 Intake manifolds (cylinder ends)1 A-75 intake spiderSoon to have 4 connecting rods (they were accidentally left behind).I'm open to offers if there's anything here you need. Thanks,Ken________________________________________________________________________________
