Hi all,
I need to try a new engine on my HDS. Does anybody know which of the zenith engine
mounts/firewalls are compatible with the HDS?
Thanks,

HI Justin,
The answer you probably need is what engine would serve your HDS best.
There are several, but the question then becomes cost
and reliability. I flew behind a Stratus Subaru and found the Subaru to be
a great engine for maintaining, cost of parts and reliability. Today,
I'd recommend the Ram Performance Subaru (EA81) because it's a gear driven
re-drive that has proven itself. There are lots of engines that
fit the HDS beautifully, but one has to be concerned about the weight. My
Subaru was at a maximum I'd be comfortable with. Some have
hung a Corvair which is without re-drive and it sounds superb, but I'd want
to check its weight. A Rotax is expensive, period. 0-200s are
heavier than I'd be comfortable with. Much more to consider when choosing
an engine, but the engine mount is a construct in most cases
that depends upon you or your access to talents that involve welding and
measuring up for cowl, mufflers and prop positions, which differ
from direct drive (non-re-drive) and re-drive engines, belted or geared.
There is generally a 7 inch displacement between crank, i.e. mount
points for re-drive and none for direct drive. Zenith will point you toward
the Rotax and the $22K for an engine and sell you a mount for it
too if you ask for $600 or so. There are much less costly ways to go if you
consider the engine first.
If you need more info, just ask. I'm not an engine guy, but I'm willing to
help.
