Someone asked me: What about changes to the Kolb engine mount area? The Kolb folk can do the mount for a VW conversion at the factory if ordered that way. I had to take my cage back to the factory to have it done. It cost me the amount of a trip and the parts and welding. I did not know when I purchased the MKIIIX kit that I would decide on a VW conversion. The guys at Kolb did the modification in their very professional and efficient manner. What do I have in dollars in my Great Plains Aviation 2180cc, four stroke, four cylinder, dual ignition (Magneto and .009 ignition) VW conversion with Valley Engineering re-drive, was also asked? Both engine and re-drive are new from the factory. Steve Bennett built the engine (worth the extra amount to have him do it) and installed the re-drive. Though I am not totally finished with the installation I am calculating I will have less than $10K in the power plant installation(engine, exhaust, solenoid, battery, gauges, prop, etc). Take a look at the Great Plains web site for exact amounts. The engine with re-drive (carburetor, alternator, light weight starter, oil cooler, harnesses) is less than the cost of one popular two stroke, two cylinder engine with gear box. Each person does have to go with what they prefer and what their pocket book will allow. One size does not fit all for true. It will be interesting to see what engines are developed over the next few years. The Great Plains folk have been producing a great product for more than two decades. Naturally I am biased about the engine I have chosen. I expect all to be biased about their choice.

At this time they do not have them on their web site under the support tab. Sure they would email it to you where you can print it out. Excellent units by the way and an excellent company with exceptional service.

I'm using CPS cables and 3-to-1 splitter. I'm thinking of mounting the splitter to a plate on the mag end of the engine (on the carb side) where there are a couple of unused inserts. From there would route the cable down the back of the cage through the fabric and then forward under the fuel tank to the throttle. My cage is covered 1/2 way up with the top of the covering level with the fuel tank, and I'm trying to minimize the number of holes I put in the covering. Curious as to what some others have done.
