Hi all.
I have had a basketcase 0-200 for the past 7 years. I bought it to rebuild and my mentor/engine guy passed away. I have a Jr Ace project that it would make a nice engine for, but i need to figure out if i should build it, use it for parts or just sell and pick up another later.
I have about $1100 in it, it has only a statement in a new log about approximate time and "lost logs". I have all including the mags and carb. I think the case halves were sent out but i would have to do it again to be sure they are ok.
In short, i'm wondering how much i'd have to invest to send the engine out to be measured/inspected and whether that could normally be done locally or if its a job to ship out.
I'm going to talk to some local mechanics i know about this..but just wanted to get some quick input here to start. I'm kinda tired of seeing it sit on the shelf.
