Anyone ever consider an aircraft engine swap? Saw the Youtube video and it made me wonder.

I've seen it the other way around, 914 motor in a gyro-copter.

Does not look like a well planned design with no shrouding around the heads, cylinder or oil cooler. Its a free air design which is very common in aircraft applications with no cowls. It is also cooler as you climb so that helps. Its the fast decents though that causes issues as it super cools the cylinders and shrinks them to the pistons. Btdt when living in that world. I rebuilt a few hundred engines while in the business. |

I rebuilt a few hundred engines while in the business. I already said this in the original thread, I would not do that. The thrust surfaces in that engine are not designed for use with a propeller. It would tear them up rapidly. Aircraft engines have huge thrust bearings to take the load of the propeller pulling on them. The cases are much beefier, and they have dedicated mounts for the load. If you want to run an automotive engine, use a drive that both lowers the prop speed and transfers the load of the propeller to a strong bearing surface. |
