Zach McNeil says there is one guy who has made this swap and he's trying to find more info.=C2- Finding an airworthy engine with AB is the other problem. There are two J-8 5 engines in crates where I work but their model and flight status is unkno wn. I don't think anyone has opened the crates since they were received. Anyway, it was just a concept idea and may prove to be more involved than w hat I may want to do. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and input.

Even installing a J-85 without AB would be a nice option.=C2- I am not an expert on the subject, but I have knowledge of both jets so I'll offer an opinion. The J-85 AB section needs room for the AB to open and close, so that may be an issue at the engine bay trailing edge.=C2- I'm sure you can get measureme nts from someone on the dimensions of the AB when in full AB.=C2- That would be th e limfac in this situation. Also, mounting points will likely have to be manufactured.=C2- As I recal l, the T-38 engine rolls into the fuselage on rails built into the fuselage and then is secured in place.=C2- The T-38 is similar to the L-29 in that the tail se ction "boat" is removed to access the engine. I think such an installation would be very interesting.=C2- I hope you ca n do it. Stan Sutterfield Time: 07:33:43 AM PST US From: Anthony Royal Subject: L29-List: L29 w/ Afterburner Has anyone heard of an L29 with a J85-GE-5 or -5A engine with afterburner i nstalled?=C2- With 2400 lbs normal thrust and 3600-3850 lbs thrust with a fterburner, it would seem to be a good fit. Engine dimensions look good to go but was told the tail pipe might be an issue.=C2- Was told there is/wa s one L29 with this conversion but gentleman didn't have any specifics.
