How much heavier was that LS1 engine? Perhaps that has something to do with the shimmy or not. -sent from the I-droid implanted in my forearm On Mon, Sep 25, 2017 at 6:01 AM, johngoodman wrote: > > I think it has to do with the piston reversing directions without a power > stroke, but I'm no expert.

It used a little less than 2 gallons of water. However, it only needed 5 quarts of oil, plus 2/10ths for the oil filter. The prop was 2.5 inches further forward, so I had to compensate with some ballast to bring the nose weight to normal. You can't buy an LS1 anymore, so most folks are using the LS3. It's close, but lots more horsepower. Frankly, the additional power is a mixed blessing, since you can't use it with the Vne limits we have.
