Hi

Looks like Mistral will be a while getting an engine to sell.

Is there a 'how to' book on converting a 13 or 16b engine to an
aircraft engine? I have read some articles from the website but
I need an idiots guide and I mean pretty stupid!

Thanks

Richard

It is pretty simple as far as the engine goes. No cam shafts
or anything like that. The big problem is the intake manifold.
Nothing really suitable that you can just bolt on.
Probably the easiest is a four barrel Holley carb with a leaning block.
Mazdatrix or Racing Beat may have a manifold for a 13B that will accept
a Holley 4 barrel. The RX8 engine will require a custom manifold or
a p-port conversion. Power will be modest. Say 160 HP or so.
