    I installed everything, including the sender wiring, on the tank before installation. I then installed the tank in the wing and fixed the skins. Don't forget to pressure test the tank before installation.

    Hi Peter, The EA81 in the Stratus configuration is very close. The mount adapters attached to the engine were originally designed to duplicate the 0-200 mount pattern. The engine crank centerline is below the prop centerline by 7-inches, so the valve covers may bump into the 0-200 cowl width at that point. Otherwise the length, weight and fit on a 0-200 mount is the "same". Reiner Hoffmann originally replaced a 0-200 in a Cessna 150 with a EA81 and his conversion FWF package was sold and is now the Stratus Subaru package offered by Mykal Templeman. The Hoffmann Cessna looked very "stock" externally. The Stratus has become one of the better units out there and the belt redrive, my preference, is undoubtedly the best design I've seen. I've 142 hours on my Stratus EA81. To answer your question, you'd probably not be able to fit up the EA81 with absolutely no modification. That'd be a stretch.

    Larry, Thanks for your information..it will help. I know you have a different cowling which needed quite a bit of rework to fit the engine. The O-200 engine/cowling is wider but due to the redrive, the EA81 is sitting lower.
