There are a few comments in this month's AOPA Pilot about Franklin
engines
in the Stinson 108-3 article.

"The engines for the 108s - the Franklin 150-hp and 165-hp models - are no
longer made, although a Franklin 220-hp engine was still being made by
PZL,
of Poland, until recently. At this writing PZL has temporarily suspended
production of that engine. For now, though, parts remain in plentiful
supply
even for the engines no longer made.

Until the supply of 220-hp Franklins runs out, U.S. distributors such as
Franklin Aircraft Engines, of Fort Collins, Colorado, can upgrade Stinson
108s
to the 220-hp engine. Univair owns a supplemental type certificate (STC)
that
allows mounting a 180-hp or 200-hp Lycoming O-360 or IO-360 engine on a
Stinson
108-series aircraft."
