To all,
Heed with earnest Nev's advice about automobile conversions. Having been a part
of numerous (more than 10) auto conversions on both a personal and professional
level, any savings (typically less than 10%) over a proven design is mitigated
by the fact that re-engineering (engine mount, cowling, propeller, cooling
system, redundancy, etc.) typically adds a minimum of 300% to the firewall
forward
process, and usually results in a proven design being used in the end. Don't
forget, you are going to be up in the air when you are trusting the engine
to work and there's no place to pull over as in a car when things go wrong.
Just my 2 cents (US) worth.
