Im confused which is easy to do. I have a rebuilt O-320 150 hp I am upgrading from an O-290. 1950 PA-18 certified. I have a sky Tec flyweight starter and that is all so far. Would like to keep it as light as possible, but dont have deep pockets... Converting gen to Plane Power alternator, or is the a better way to go? Anyone have any suggestions on what rear mounting lightweight rear oil cooler, and the best way to mount it for the best cooling. Also any other suggestions on a good exhaust that is in the 2k range. Is Sutton good? And any other mods I might need would be greatly appreciated. I seem to be reading some rear mounted coolers are having high cht issues. The stc on the alternator says I need a rear mounted, and with the Sutton exhaust. Also will the conical O-290 engine mounts work? In the Wag Areo STC it does not say it but the Cubcrafters does..dynafocal. Cubcrafters says I need to change my cowling? I opted out of making it 160 and kept it a narrow A2A but it dyno's out at 162.
I have been flying my Super Cub for years this is the first engine so I'm at a loss. Getting all my info from here. I want power that I can afford. Thanks in advance.
