[f-AA] Continental A-65 engine parts

[John Rodkey]

Over the years I have accumulated a collection of cylinders, pistons, wrist pins, cases, and the like from A-65s mostly (some A-75, C-85). 5 years ago, I thought I would put together a C-85, to eventually replace the A-65 in my Chief, but I am realizing that without a proper shop and tools to do this it's unlikely that it will happen. Many of these parts are squirreled away in nooks and crannies at my place of employment. I'm going to be retiring in about a year and a half, so that storage area will no longer be available, and I don't have space in the hangar,  what with 2 airplanes and a Zenith build project taking up space.

If you could make use of these parts, please let me know.
