Hi Lisa,

Sorry, that you need to give up flying, it must hurt you a lot. I'm not
ready to order an engine yet, though yours looks like a terrific deal. I
bought my Rebel kit 7 years ago, just finally started building and at the
rate I'm progressing it will take several years to finish. I have been
looking at a variety of engines and found that it is very hard to find
matching information to use for a fair comparison. One, I think, is total
firewall forward weight. You can do me a big favour by letting me know the
total weight of your firewall forward set up, engine, accessories, redrive,
prop, spinner, mount, radiator, cowl, everything.

Hope you find a buyer soon, sincerely

I my self never weighed every thing. The engine, engine mount, Ross redrive, electronic ignition, plug wires, Airflow fuel injection and headers (was) supposed to weigh in at 270 lb. ???. WarpDrive prop aprox 12 lb., UHS spinner 1 lb., radiator 5-6 lb., hoses 3-4 lb., fluids 15 lb. antifreeze and oil, ( 310-315 lb.) APROX. The cowling was the 912 Rotax cowl for the Rebel. That I reworked the openings and exits on
Runs extremely smooth compared to a Lyc.
Sound is something to readjust to. You're used to chugging along at 2200-2400 RPM
now you're humming along at 4800- 5000 RPM. A different environment to adjust to, after a few hours of flying you get used to it.

Tony,

My 0320E2D Lycoming dry weight is 268 lb. as listed by Lycoming. The metal Sensenich prop and spinner weight close to 40 lb. Then you have to add the exhaust, engine mount, hoses, oil cooler and all the other accessories you are using. 320 lb. for the total package is a reasonable figure. I hope that helps you with your comparisons.

Al and Ralph,
Did you or any others that have finished their Elite, followed the 0320 instructions that came on a CD for their 0360 installation? I'm looking for any available pictures of the firewall component layout to prevent me from cutting unnecessary holes in the firewall. Can most of the hole be made after the engine is hung? I instructions I mention have you punch in the holes prior to hanging. Also, is it necessary to use a remote mounted oil filter on this installation?
Thanks,
Mike Betti

Don't I wish I was finished! We have the engine hung, oil cooler mounted, battery on firewall, and most wiring and control cable holes drilled. No, I did not try to follow MAM directions as we have made too many mods for them to apply. From my point of view, the firewall holes are better made after hanging the engine so clearances are assured. The dynafocal mount from MAM has much less clearance to the firewall than other dynafocal mounts I have seen. Positioning the oil cooler is an example. Mine has just enough clearance to work and I hand made a plenum.

We use a spin on oil filter mount from B&C. With a 1 1/4" spacer from them it just clears the mount and firewall. Viewed from the pilots seat the fiulter is parallell to the firewall at about 10 oclock. A remote mount would use additonal scarce firewall space and introduce more leakage opportunities.

We are using flexible "eyeball" cable safes in the firewall as they allow minimum bends in the bowden cables.
Regards,
Ralph Baker

Hello

I did put my engine on the airplane yesterday, it was a great moment! Shit! There is a lot of work done but a lot to be done too!!!!

I put de complete C-152 exhaust system that I bought used at the Sun'Fun couple of years ago. Not to bad! Just for fun, I put the PA-22 style nose bowl that I have in front of it.... I think I will have to make some fiberglass work to do to change a bit the angle of the bottom part. It gone be a bit more "fat" than a speed cowl! We will see...

Before ordering some parts from Spruce, I would like to have your opinion if everythings is ok or if I should buy something else

Carburator intake assy (carb heat box) #08-01300
S.S. Cabin heat box #08-04025
Oil filter adaptor # 08-00975
ACS Gascolator #10580 and braquet #10371

Should I buy the soleinoid switch from a local auto store?

For the alternator, may be Iwill order braquet kit from Vans and use a automotive alternator, is a 0-235 case or boss mount?!?

Many of you have use Vans baffles kits... which one (RV6-7-9 0-320 kit)? Is a 0-320 kit will fit a 0-235 engine?

Thank to all of you

Jean
Rebel 747R
