Didn't bother to look it up, but did anyone else find out what is their

TBO,

.....and actual runtime so far?

I bet around 400 hrs latest it will start to "make trouble"!

PS: 400 hrs is about the max I heared about any car derived V8 survive

in an

aircraft.........

My guess is 300 hours. It SO MUCH trouble that 99% of the V8 people give

up :)

You are right, but what surprises me to no end, that there is always someone
new to sink a s###load of money into a project, builds a beautiful motor and
thinks they have found the sweetspot, never even waisting a single second to
really study why all the others failed.

Besides if it would be that easy would have plenty of certified Chevys,
Fords, Mopars, etc. flying. Those guys probably found out early, that it is
not easy to build a V8 that will hold up in Aviation........

Anyway, always nice to see a "new" one :))

The all time highest cost for converting a Chevy V8 was spent by Orenda at 
about 50 Million U.S. and Canadian. Most of it at the expense of the poor 
Canadian tax payer. I have seen one or two others at well over a million US.
What really pisses me off is one such project is by NASA at US taxpayer expense
as we speak.

Hope springs eternal.
