I have two Jasper engines going in mine, but bought with 50 hours on them. Jaspers are supposed to be good ones, I got them from our sponsor Beacon. The do not handle Jasper but another brand the consider very realiable and in the end that can trump cost.

I was going to build my own but these two 318s came up, our time does have at least some value.

Same engine, mine were 225 with electronic ignitions, 1978 model. Look up jasper on Internet, they appear to be a quality rebuilder.
