I know Oliver used one but not sure. The one I am needing is the VIK 4.5" bore, 5.25" stroke and is 334 c.u. inches I hope this will help you, so maybe it will help me Bryan

That will be the one. Don't know if there are differences. The early olivers (18-27 and 18-28) were different than the 80s in some respects. They increasesd the bore from 4 1/8 or 4 1/4 to 4 1/2 for the kero burners. Search the archives as there was someone rebuilding a Huber in the the last year or so.

I am in the UK. 80 parts are sometimes available over here. Quite a lot of the 80s were sent to the UK. Depends on what you want. Is your engine missing completely? They are one tough engine but were a bit prone to dropping valves into the engine and the manifolds were a bit fragile after years of operation.
