GO300E in RV4?

[cliffyf16]

Anyone put a GO300E in a RV4?

I have one with a CS prop in good shape and low time.

Just asking the Collective.

As in, a Continental GO-300E, a geared 6 cylinder 175 hp engine from a Cessna 175; it’s heavy at 315-ish lbs, plus a heavy CS prop, would need an all new cowling and engine mount… I’m no engineer, but it sounds like a really bad idea to me.

Yeah.. sell the engine to someone who needs one, use a 320 or 360 instead.. enjoy the plane the way it was designed!!

Thanks. Thought so.
