I am upgrading my O-58A to 85 hp and am selling the original O-170 that was on the aircraft when it left the Army November, 1945. The engine has had two military overhauls, the last one at Oklahoma Air Depot (OCAD) in 1945.

The O-58 is simply too heavy to perform well with 65 hp but a light L-4 would fly nicely with this authentic engine. It has a Stromberg carb and original military airbox on it. The engine has been in storage along with the O-58A since 1952.

Best Regards,
Steve
