I am looking for a narrower (smaller in physical size) engine for my single seat KR. My VW is too wide. I want to streamline the firewall forward to look more in line with P51, 109 etc. Besides the mazda, what's out there in the 70-80 HP range that is not 2 cycle? Any thoughts out there? Pat

patrusso and Stephen I would not use the Geo 3 cyl as the 4 cyl is much more reliable and smoother running. I have an email address of a man that converts them for aircraft use and sells a conversion book for $60 USD. He used his in the Loehle P51 he has. It is said to be 100 hp, but I would

For an engine that will help the KR1 look more like a P51, there is no doubt that the 3 or 4 cylinder Geo or Suzuki conversions from Raven or similar designs are the best for this application. They are slim design, all aluminum, fuel injected, and have great torque on the top end. Their overhe
