Poplar Grove: 34.9K ea (it would be higher but my mags are already done) Firewall Forward: 38 ea Western: 40+ AirPower: 46k (GB3B...I actually need the 5B but they don't make it now) Needless to say, ouch. I'm exploring local options at this point but still may go with poplar. Edit: I should also note that cylinders from Cont are running 10 weeks right now. |

Have you considered a field OH? In my aviation career, I've had shop-OH'ed motors as mentioned here, but I've also had individual A&P's do overhauls for me. I've never had any issue either way, but the independent A&P was always less expensive by an order of magnitude.
It may not be as impressive in the logbook come sale time, but a qualified and experienced A&P can do the same job as the big shops, and usually do it faster and for for a lot less money. Just my 2 cents, best wishes no matter which way you go. |

The reason I wanted to go with AP was that I'd be getting a CB6B in exchange for my C6B--a nontrivial upgrade. But since their 52k quote is a full 10k more than the one from just 2 months ago (was unfortunately tied up with work and projects, unaware of impending doom), I guess I'll have to forgo the upgrade part. |

Almost certainly going to go with a local company or a&p. |

Yep. I'm all but decided to go with zephyr. Not local, but mid 30s with nickel cylinders.
