There was an article in the recent "Vintage Airplane" magazine that featured the Twin Bonanzas and discussed the engines that were in those aircraft. Specifically, the Lycoming GO-435 and GO-480 engines. I have a GO-435 B and desperately need to find a source of parts for it. My engine powers the Langhurst "Stuka". When I have contacted Lycoming to ask about work on this engine, they act like I have leprosy. The comments in this article were quite positive about this engine so I do not quite understand that attitude. Anyway...if anyone out there knows who I could contact to discuss what I need to support this engine, I would greatly appreciate it. Or...details about the GO-480 and what I would need to do to swap out.
Thanks.
