Time to overhaul the 7.7 liter six. Just about ready to come out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I must admit that is a unique donor vehicle, but we all make do with what we find.

Yeah there might be some clearance problems. Nothing too serious.

There used to be a guy in Orange County that had 2 autocross cars powered by aircraft engines. One called "Hell", the other called Li'l Hell".

I don't get it. Why not run it 'til it dies? I mean, what's the worst that could happen?

2000 TBO on that engine or less? Go buy a big ol box of Kleenex for yourself and a large jar of Vaseline for the A&P. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) There are a couple of A&P/AI here. Maybe one of them would sign you off if you did the rebuild. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Even with the vast sophisticated array of tools and equipment in my hangar, I wouldn't want to take on the overhaul of this engine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) TBO is 1700. It has 1664 on a factory re-man. (that was done in 1968). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I'll be taking it up to Victor Aircraft in Palo Alto. I have to build an "A" frame and chain hoist to get the engine off the airplane first. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Exactly! It's gotta have a better glide ratio than a 914... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Palo Alto? Why so far? There's an FAA Certified aircraft engine repair facility right here in Santa Maria.

If you do come up this way, shoot me a PM! We can grab lunch or just BS. I'll even show you a 914 that doesn't exist, if you like!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Thanks for the offer Greg but I'm all set. I have an A&P/IA mechanic helping. All the work is done. I'll finish welding an "A" frame tomorrow so we can hoist the engine off the plane and on to my pickup.

Is that cool by the FAA? I have a buddy with a Piper Apache, and he tells me he isn't allowed to do much more than change the oil and air up the tires. I suppose that he could probably pull the engine and take it somewhere for a rebuild, but I doubt that he could put it back in without the proper cred.

I looked at the website this morning. Nice, maybe a bit tacky in places, and he sure toots his own horn. The guy down here has been in business since 1945, not since 1978. However, I do firmly believe you should spend your kids inheritance anywhere you want.

That's exactly right. There is very little you can do to the airplane on your own. I will be installing the engine with the help, expertise and final log book sign off by an A&P mechanic who also has "inspection authorization".
