yep. I think it started life as an O-360 B1B. I upgraded to the C/S crank, Forward facing Superior Cold sump and 9to1 pistons. Should be making 190+hp. I'm ecstatic!

Spike, sorry about the money talk. Trying to put out the info for newbies, so no one is blindsided by reality.

It actually helps me justify the whole thing. I had a vision when I started building.
1. Bright and Bold
2. Fast, but reliable
3. Day/night VFR and XC capable
4. Fun
5. Comfy, full interior(wife mandate)
6. Cost $70-$80K.

It has been a struggle to keep the costs in check. But I also did not want to give up my vision.
