Finding a timed-out engine core

Within about a week I'll have the check-writing ability to pick up an engine core for a rebuild for my project. I'm looking to build/rebuild an IO360 M1B, with one standard mag, one LSIII, and AFP injection. This will be headed for a full overhaul anyway, so I'm not really scared of a prop strike.

Any comments on a good place to go to pick up a timed out core?

Have you been watching Barnstormers?

Nope, but that's one place I'll start watching.

Great place, that Barnstormers...Check Air Salvage of Dallas or Wentworth for cores too.

Not sure if it would work there but in Alaska craigslist is a good place to browse as well.

I have a flight instructor friend that had his student retract the gear on his (school's) Seneca on rollout on Tuesday.

Me: "what kind of engines do those have?"
Him: "Hmm... IO-360's I think?"
Me: "Angle valve or parallel valve?"
Him: "Parallel I think."
Me: "You know where I'm going with this...."

Hmmm...if it's anything other than a Seneca I, those are Conti's...
