The cast iron end housings are about the only place you are
going to find 50 pounds. If money is no object Racing Beat sells
aluminum end housings to save the magic 50 pounds.

BTW what does torque have to do with it? Airplanes fly on HP.
With a gear box torque is anything you want it to be.

When you consider an antique aircraft engine goes for more than $20,000,
a 13B with the aluminum end housings from Racing Beat would probably
still be under $10,000. And you would have a much better engine for half the
price.

Paul,
Not that I think that I will ever have an extra $4500, but have you had any feedback on the reliability of these RB aluminum housings?3

Ken Powell

Not lately. They had some problems in the early days with the coatings.
