For $1750, you can have a decent experimental A-65-8F, which type of
engine has flown more than one aircraft for over 1000 hours. AND has
gobs of premade accessories AND actually puts out 65 horsepower AND
doesn't require "fudging" to make weight, like nearly all auto engine
conversions, do.

I thought this would be interesting for people on this group.

The Geo/Suzuki one litre engine weighs a little more than a Rotax
582, it produces 62 HP normally aspirated but with a better, flatter
torque curve.
Both bolt on gearbox and cog belt redrives and all other aircraft
conversion parts are available for very reasonable cost. Turbo
versions are available also. Gearbox type redrives for around US$1750-
The Geo/Suzuki engine uses about half the fuel that the two stroke
engines use.
The 1.3 litre four cylinder Suzuki engine beats the Rotax 912 in
power and weight, again both gearbox and belt type redrives are
available.
All those advantages plus flying engines with the hours up to prove
them and last but not lease, far, far cheaper than a Rotax.
There is a Yahoo group about these fantastic little engines used in
aircraft, it is a very active and helpful group.
One person on the group has over 1000 hours on one installation.
