Hi,
I had always presumed I would need to be buying a new engine, always liked the idea of a io-360MIB ($gulp$) but a buddy has come up with -first an end of life 0360, and now a 0320 as well. Both will need a top overhaul, but look to be great buying. I realise most of the arguments for and against new versus older motor, but am struggling with if i go this way which one would I go for.
The 0320 can take a csu, the 0360 can't (A4M solid crank) with out getting a new crankshaft I guess (more $$). I have been leaning toward going the CSU route, but always assumed with an 0360.
I am interested in what others have to say, assuming the completed cost was close enough to not be the deciding factor. (ie 0320 costs less, plus more expensive prop = similar to the 0360 with FP).
0320 with a CSU or 0360 fixed pitch?
Any thoughts on adding a Fuel injection System? ie Airflow performance FM-150.
I note that vans does not have a cowl to suit an io-320D1A. I am assuming that the 0320 I am looking at if converted to FI would be the same as above
What do they mean by this? Is it an impossible option? (any feedback before I ask Vans this question?
Sam James cowl the only option?
Many Thanks
J
