Jay ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:20:37 AM PST US From: "John Swartout" Subject: RE: Engines-List: Injected 360 --> Engines-List message posted by: "John Swartout" I would take a hard look at ZAC's recommendation: not more than 440 lbs firewall forward. Their O-360 and wood prop is about 400 lbs. People who have installed Franklin engines have had to put 20+ lbs of lead in the tail to balance the engine, which is IMHO, unacceptable. I settled on an O-360 for my CH-801 for that reason. I really wanted 200 hp, but gave up because of the weight limitation. (If the Deltahawk diesel had come in at the projected price of 19,000 instead of $29,500, that's where I'd be.) -----Original Message----- From: owner-engines-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-engines-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of caldwell Subject: Engines-List: Injected 360 --> Engines-List message posted by: "caldwell" I am building a Zenith CH-801.

They (unfortunately for some of us), are emphasizing certification. As I recall, the uncertified version will cost as much as a new comparable Cont or Lyc. I was impressed with what they have accomplished thus far, but the cost will be prohibitive to most.
