I'm in the process of doing the Bendix fuel inj. now. Will let you know when it all comes together. I'm looking forward of not having to run carb. heat this winter. I'm alittle anal about running egt's close together. It will cost close to $7,500 when done. As far as disadvantages I don't think it will start as quick and when you run out of gas it will be hard to get going again. I do think it will be more effient on fuel, I have a P-Ponk motor with 8.5 to 1 comp. and Lycon did the flow match on the cylinders.

Somebody that went by MLJ did it and had pictures on the 180 club website.
Starting any Continental is easy. I have never ever had a problem, Lycoming makes me sick with frustration.Hate lycoming, and I have lots, and lots, and lots of starts. Mostly I am after a bit more power, ease of start, better fuel efficency. Does anyne have this engine? What are the restrictions or added limitations?

I put one on my 180J P-Ponk motor 5 yrs ago and no regrets. When I had Steve build me up a motor and told him to put the gears in for the fuel pump. Bought Bendix parts from D&G supply and Bob up in alaska did the 337 for install, had local shop do install. I had a carb on for bout 50 hrs and did the switch, egt's run 30-50 degree spread instead of 150, fuel consumption down a little and no carb ice. Priceless
Update with some additional information. I spoke with Russ at D&G and have also spoken with Fred Dyen who used to be with the A&P program at UAF. Fred performed this modification on a few airplanes in Fairbanks. I have spoken to the owner of one of those planes and he is quite happy. I have attached some of the information I have been able to dig up for those of you who might be interested. At this point i am waiting on a response from Peter at Precision, with any luck at all this project will move forward for me in the not to distant future.

Where is Fred Dyen located these days? Fred did a number of these kinds of mods, most of which worked really well.
