Can anyone give a semi-short answer as to which 540's will work on the
F-1 besides the C4B5?

Mark
There are lots of 540 blocks that will fit on a rocket. Some key
items are the large holes on the mounting ears, a hollow crank that can be
fitted with the proper counterweights, the proper fuel pump pad, sump etc.
If you go to the Lycoming website you can get a list of all the engines and
configurations. Start with the C4B5 and work backwards. Sometimes the only
difference between it and another acceptable engine is something simple like
slick vs. bendix mags, as an example.

Can the -K series be easily made to fit? It's a little heavier than the
-C & -D engines, but starting with 300HP before modding with high
compression pistons, etc. is looking really attractive...

If you have seen Ron's Rocket you will understand he knows of which he
speaks. The glass work is impeccable and a thing of beauty, not to mention
the custom position light covers he made.
Do not archive.... later, Mike

SNIP Does anyone have any pictures of a metal empennage fairing for a
Rocket or RV-4? Vince Frazier said he made one but has no pics.
Suggested I ask the listers. I still hate fiberglassing Bryan Carr
SNIP
Here's a similar fairing that I found online:
http://home.cogeco.ca/~farndt/images/fs_tail_fairing.jpg Definitely
not an RV, but the concept is the same.
I have several paper photos at home somewhere. I'll scan them and post
them tomorrow.... assuming that I can find them!
One of the RV's that I copied my RV-4 tail fairings from was a yellow RV
that had "Tweety Bird" on the front. There are many others. This isn't
an uncommon item.
