That is a 200 cu inch engine Continental Engine (Air Force used these in both APUs and fuel tanker trucks) but likely has an C-90 camshaft in it, so has significantly less cam duration and is tuned for 2400 - 2500 rpm. Seems to me they also have a flange stud that is slightly off line for indexing, so the prop may require having one hole opened up a bit. Hey, but with the intakes on top, you could just tell everyone it's the latest tuned top intake model like the IO-360s and IO-550s found in the Cirrus Aircraft. I've only seen one of these engines in service in an aircraft. That was on a Dragonfly. He called it a top intake C-90, but the plane performed pretty well with it.
The engine and plane don't look like they have been stored outside. It looks like it was rolled out into the sunlight for photos. FWIW, put an O-200 cam in it if it isn't already, magnaflux the crank so you know what you have, or switch to an O-200 crank, then mount an Ellison throttle body to it and you would have a nice engine. But even if it's only a C-90 configuration, it would perform well in a KR. -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM > > I believe that the 0-200 motor is a converted APU. > I wonder if it could be updated with modern cylinders? > > Jeff Scott, what do you think? > > Woops It looks like it is stored outside.
