For what it's worth, the IO-540 pictured includes all of the "cooling systems" so it's not quite a straight forward comparison, but pretty nifty none the less.

Hey, we knew that Mark, I mean - how can you
undertake a roll-your-own engine conversion project without being an eternal
optimist {:>)??
But, I hope you are right - they were so
close.

Being the eternal optimist, I believe that someone with a fat
wallet will come along and carry Mistral's torch across the finish line.
They were too close to give it all up for good.

No Bill,
The
Mistral PSRU was a all new straight cut spur gear unit. Considerably tougher
than the Slausen unit.

I was under the
understanding that the Mistral engine had an SAE 2 prop hub. The hubs
are certainly not the same on these two engines!!??
The ratio is the
same, but is the Mistral PSRU based on the same gear set as Tracy’s
PSRU?
