I've purchased three halfway decent A-65s for an average of $1500,
each, on Barnstormers, within the last six months. One of them was
"good to go" as an experimental, and two of them would require about
$4000 to make them good, serviceable CERTIFIED with complete logbooks
aircraft engines.

What was it about the engines that made them experimental?
Had they been modified?

An engine is "experimental" if the data plate is removed or it is
repaired by a non-certified facility and/or has no log-book.
If it still has the data plate it can be returned to certified status
with a complete "certified" overhaul, if I remember correctly.
