I'm thinking about the engine for my future rocket project. Will any of 
the IO-540 series work, i.e., the C/D vs the A/B/K engines?

Thanks,

Jerry Carter

Hey Jerry:

You'll have to stick with the straight valve engines -- the slant valve units 
are too heavy. If you're looking for a core, the 235HP fixed pitch motor 
would be the cheapest, and you can adjust to the required specs during the O/H.

Cheers
Mark

Can't speak for the rest but I used a IO-540 J4A5.  The book said it was the
same as the "C" model.  However, I had to modify the firewall to make it
fit, fuel pump and mags hit the original wall.

I have the IO-540-C4B5 an everything fits good.  Slight interference with 
the fuel pump vent but the fuel pump modification is easy and clearance is 
great now.  I don't have mags so I don't know if there would have been 
interference there.
