Felicitaciones. Soy de Argentina y recién veo el video. Tengo dos preguntas. 1) Que relación tiene la reductora. 2) Como rindió el carburador Holley en los giros de izquierda y derecha.

I've researched a lot for auto conversions, I'm going to do a fuel injection j37a 300hp 285 torque in a long ez going with stock upgrade ignition system and aftermarket ignition system. I'm going to machine my own psru . I really like to see other people do this .1 thing look up Gary Spencer long ez he runs direct drive for 360 something all aluminum engine and goes 250mph and 200mph at cruise. 2 barrel carb set up. But no redrive ..he made the cam run in the 3500 rpm range. Very good set up sir. It's fun to be different and have something cool..I think anyway.

Ben, thank you so much for sharing! Please explain how you did the weight and balance on your airplane and what is the bore and stroke of the engine!

This engine may be in an airplane but its not up to aircraft standards. Nothing is lock wired, nyloc nuts on rotating bolts, it does not follow any of the acceptable practices concerning AC safety that even E/ABs must meet.

I'm extremely impressed with your dedication to optimization and the hundreds and hundreds of hours you must have put in doing research completely aside from the work of assembling the aircraft. The Ford/Chevy argument can become overly contentious. Both have made excellent V8 engines. But I was surprised to hear you found a Ford small block smaller than a Chevy small block. It's common knowledge that nearly every Ford Hot Rod has a chevy small block engine. The argument I always hear is that "the chevy is smaller and fits better than any Ford V8". But according to the chart linked below, the dimensions differ by only slightly more or less than an inch. But I'm guessing you had other reasons you prefered the Ford over the Chevy. Do you care to elaborate? www.carnut.com/specs/engdim.html

Ford Small Block bore spacing - 4.38", Chevy SB 4.400". The Chev deck height is taller too. The "Ford engines are bigger" comes from comparing the SBC or LS to the Ford DOHC 32-valve engines, which are taller and wider than their pushrod competitor, but also considerably shorter (100mm bore spacing vs 111.76).

I don't understand why the plane is aerodynamically dirty, the cowling looks as streamline as it's air-cooled counter part. Could it be the airplane's design?

Didn’t realize that fixed slats were so draggy! Due to the air being guided over the top of the wing. The upside down wing which forms the tail, is that draggy? How did you come up with the idea of the 45 degree angle at the rear of the radiator housing? Impressive job u did, putting a water cooled engine in a plane is hard, but u did it!

I dont see how that carb with a float bowel would work . Should have F.I. I watched his other video's. There are a few things on his build that are very shaky . Noticed he has not posted for awhile. I sincerely hope his engineering did not do him in.
