Subject: Re: engine conversion?

I have an O-320-D1F from Lancair and the governor is in the front.  
The D1F has dynafocal type 1 engine mounts, the A1A has different  
mounts. What kind of engine mounts does your short Lancair mount  
require. You probably should look at the "Certificated Aircraft  
Engines" publication number SSB-204 dated February 2004 by Lycoming.  
You can find this document at:

      http://www.lycoming.com/support/troubleshooting/resources/ 
SSP204.pdf

An MT electric constant speed prop might be a consideration.

I would like to have many things on my plane but I have to always  
remind myself: "You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.".
