I'm in the early stages of rebuilding my Supercub. I'm sure that over the next few months I'll be posting a lot of inane questions, and here's my first:
I understand that converting the low-compression 150 h.p. O-320 to the 160 h.p. flavor is simply a matter of changing the cylinder assemblies. Presumably if I purchase the high-compression (B-series) assemblies from, say, ECI and bolt them on as part of the overhaul I'll then have an O-320 B2B. What exactly is the approved data that you all use when filling out the 337 to justify this conversion? I've found the SI that covers the change to the data plate (SI-1304J) following the conversion, by the way.
If anyone has an approved 337 to share I'd really appreciate having a copy.
Also, who has the best STC for installing the engine back onto the airframe?
Denton.
