Has anyone considered the IO-360-A1A 200 hp angle valve engine.
I hear it's very smooth running.
You could put the batteries up front on the firewall and save a few pounds with less battery cable and 2 less cylinders. CG should still be fine.
You might loose 5-10 mph cruise speed but save a few gallons/hr
of fuel.
So what if it take 5-10 more minutes to reach my 500
mile destination.
Does anyone know who might build custom engine mounts
or who builds them for Vans.
