Corvair conversion engines
Cal, the statement I was responding to was from the guy who said that auto engines end up essentially costing as much as an aircraft engine. I was posting my actual costs to suggest that the costs are, or can be, very much lower for the auto engine conversion than for a rebuilt aircraft engine. But I chose to do all the work, except for the machining of the engine parts, myself. If you do not wish to put in that kind of time, or do not have the knowledge to do so, then the options tend to be a lot more expensive. Buying a firewall forward package and simply bolting it in place and connecting the wires and fuel lines will of course cost a bunch more than doing everything yourself. Perhaps this is what that gentleman was talking about. Corky Scott Corky, could you tell us how successfull you were with your Ford engine. Curious Jean-Paul |
