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.

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...

The glass work is impeccable and a thing of beauty, not to mention the custom position light covers he made.

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.
