Looking for a PW 1830 to make runable for a local engine show. Any ideas on where to get a non-airworthy one?

sounds like a good project. This is how i find my project engines. first check ebay ,they show up from time to time, barnstormers is also great. post a wanted ad. call rebuilders they may have something. sunair parts is a big pratt parts store. contact Basler (spelling?) they do the turbo prop conversions on dc3. they may have what you need. try to get it as complete as possible. I find the exhaust and engine mounting frames are the hardest thing to locate.

Keep it in mind that propellers are not cheap. they can cost as much as the engine core. It hurts to cut down a set of blades for a project .trust me on this. it sure is fun when they make smoke and noise.
