OK guys,

I am working on an engine swap, and called he local FSDO to see what I needed to
do as this is a different engine manufacture than what is on my airworthiness
(mine states that it is good with ALL rotax engines).

The local guy said that I needed to go back to the original faa office that gave
approval the kit manufacture ?? Has anyone else gone through this?  say a swap
from a rotax to a VW or Subie or some other engine that is not purpose built
for aircraft?  I would think that the inspector may want to come out and look
at it, maybe through me back to phase 1 for XX hrs to prove out the engine,
but it should be done on the local level I would think...
