Not so long if you used George Graham's
scheme of using an RX7 gearbox. I sure hope
that works. How many hours so far George?

115 hours, I burn less than 7 gph, exactly the same as an O-235.

My fuel cost is $1.10 per gallon, auto fuel regular unleaded, when I
refuel at home base.

SHAME ON YOU GEORGE! You are not giving that RX7 gearbox a 
severe enough test! Seven gallons an hour is only 84 HP!  
Please start running it harder! 

BTW Do it while within gliding distance of an airport. :-)
