We are about to do an engine swap on the Crimson Cub. Currently has a narrow deck 0-320 160hp. Have since aquired a Titan 0-340 removed from a wrecked carbon cub with the light weight sump. I have some ideas on outfitting her but given the same circumstances, what would you do? So far the only item I have purchased is the CGR-30 engine analizer as everything is electronic on this engine. I seriously considered the glass panel upgrade but much research seems to question reliability. I like the old school gauges anyway. So whose baffling?(Van's or is there something better) What Exhaust? (leaning vettermans') Oil Cooler and where to mount it. Cub crafters has it on top of the engine but I can't see how to make it happen. I am a little concerned about oil temps and cylinder cooling on the rear mounted one. Oil Temps and CHT are my main concern. Prop and pitch (Catto but what pitch, 84/44?) Catto recommended a 82/42.5 but that seems to flat for this engine. Looking for a little more speed than the 85mph (at 2350 rpm) than I get on my catto 84/37. But to be fair I can hit 92mph if I push it up to 2500rpm but the fuel burn ain't worth it. Also need a new nose bowl, isn't there someone around here that makes those? Very much enjoy this forum and appreciate any input. How many of you have a 0-340 on the supercub airframe (besides Charlie:smile.
