If you're looking for "dollar friendly" I don't think you want the Lyc 0-145. With the little exposure I've had with that engine my advise is to turn your back to the engine and run till you're out of breath. I believe they are prone to cracking the case as happened to a friend of mine with his early model Taylorcraft. I'd leave it for the restorers of the early model aircraft that it was originally installed in. "Dollar friendly"? Consider the Corvair. They may seem like the latest fad but they have been flying in aircraft since the late 60's. Larry Flesner
