This past winter there was some discussion about Continental building some O-200 cranks. This vendor may know more> https://www.aircraftspecialties.aero/o-200-crankshaft-653012/
Edit: I know of one who ended up buying an O-200 to get the part.

Thanks. They are the ones that inspected my crankshaft and came back with a red tag and none in stock.

Search Barnstormers for Ted Davis - Davis Aircraft Restorations in Brodhead, WI 53520. He advertises small Cont parts. No phone listed, just through that website's mail link.

Thanks, missed his ad. Reached out to him on it.

The recent crankshaft thread on Facebook-Small Continental Engines informs. I had no idea that there was a backlog and demand far exceeding supply. When I redid my C-85 Stroker in 2015 there was availability. My A&P then ordered one a year later and was put on a list by ASS. He has since passed and never did get to restore his J-3.

Yeah, it's a mess out there with regard to Continental parts. Might have a line on one in IN, and waiting to hear back from Ted Davis. Hope to have one in a week or two. They are all going to $10k for a reconditioned .10.

It's to the point that overhauling them isn't worth the cost vs replacing the whole engine with a used O-200. http://dc65stc.blogspot.com/ is a DER in Texas that has done approvals for deviations to his STC by replacement with O-200's, derated or normal power. See his catalog for examples: https://app.box.com/s/ysds87f73ksuxe98ualkjoozscp75amc

Found a crankshaft. For historic research, I paid $10,000 plus shipping with the "least likely to be a scam". Best price offered from another trusted source was $9.500 but came to my inbox after I ordered the one for $10,000. In all my searches over a couple days, I found three available from those I would consider honest sellers - $10,500, $10,000, $9,500. I'm sure there are a few more out there, but talk about a parts dry up and inflation issue.

Sorry to hear. I'm fortunate to have been able to get a little work on mine last year. I briefly considered buying a donor plane just for the engine. Glad I didn't need to go that far. Midwest Aircraft did a good job from what I can tell. Purring along after about 30-35 hours.
What are you missing?
Actually, finally got everything found, should be back together shortly.
