I have even seen Wankle engines in homebuilts. The Lycoming and Contential engines are glorified VW engines (except the heads do not come off, you slide the entire "Jug" off). |
My point was more to illustrate that it's not a simple drop in where as buying the proper setup will be the better and less expensive route in the long run. Not too mention that you really need to stick with the type engine the plane was designed around.
