Am trying to choose a powerplant for my PA-18 experimental project. I'm thinking either a plain vanilla O-320 or a Rotec radial. www.rotecradialengines.com the rotec only puts out 110 Hp but claims that with the added torque of a radial it performs more like 140hp and it does it at about 6gph.
Price is of course a factor here. What can I expect to pay for a descent O-320 including all of the accessories. The selling price of the Rotec is $12,500 including ignition system, alternator, starter, and carb. That seems like a lot of engine for the price.
Any wisdom is appreciated.
