Lancair Engine
I am looking to buy Lancair 360. They seem to come with two different
engines, the A1A at 200hp and the B1B at 180hp. Is the only difference seems to be the compression ratio, can you upgrade to the 200hp easily, and can I expect a difference in performance (rate of climb/speed/useful load)? Greg

I think you'll find that the only 200 hp Lycoming 360 is the fuel injected IO series. The O-360 A1A is 180 hp and the B1B has slightly less due to the lower compression. http://www.prime-mover.org/Engines/L...Cert_list.html

Greg i think you are referring to the narrow deck and the wide deck O360 engines. the fuel injection can be had on either, such as the 180 hp piper arrow or the 200 hp arrow.
