Wow that is a good deal. Will an Elderbrock intake bolt up to it. The GM heads take a special GM intake, [ports are larger] , and produce less horsepower than a stock in the lower rpm range. Have you read the three " Alternate engines" books put out by "Contact". They published a "Hot Rod" mag. section on chevy V6, showing different power curves with different heads,cams,intakes. Its a good read if your thinking of using the chevy V6. I mounted my rad. behind the landing gear on the belly for better CG. I used two a/c evaperators. This might work on a fast airplane where the air is forced thru the thick core. but on my slow 801 its gets hot. I am in the process of installing a larger alum. rad. One disavantage to belly mount rad. is that it does pick up grass clipping that you have to clean out.

Christopher, I have a 200 HP Eggenfellner Subaru with IVO electric in-flight adjustable prop. 140 hours since May 2007.

Welcome to the 801 Family Chris, for the record I am using the 8 cyl 180 HP Jabiru with a custom 3-blade Catto prop. You can check out my progress on this site, it is a lot of fun to build this airplane.
