I don't know of any KR's flying with an 0-320. The 0-235 and 0-290 are the largest Lycombings I'm aware of. The only "KR" flying with the larger engine was a TOTALLY re-designed airframe that was no longer a KR. It made the Gathering at Red Oak, Iowa back about 2002 or so and really wasn't all that fast for the horsepower. The 0-320, in my opinion, is way over the top for a KR and would be totally unsafe, in firewall weight and CG problems, if nothing else. If there are no reliability problems, I think the J3300 would be a great engine for a well built KR. Personally, I'd LOVE to drop a Continental IO-240 in my KR. 125 hp fuel injected with basically the same weight as my 0-200. I don't have that kind of money but at least I can dream. :-) Larry Flesner
