If you were going to choose an engine for an experimental Cub project today, what would you go with? This would be a big Cub with 1000 pounds+ useful load. And probably a constant speed prop. I'm thinking a minimum of an O-360. And probably compression in the 8.0/8.5:1 area so that car gas can be used. And electronic ignition.
Titan seems to have the best information on their offerings online. I see their X-360 180 hp, X-370 185 hp or 195 hp at high compression.
Lycoming Thunderbolt: O-360 and O-390
Superior: XP-360 180-185 hp
And there are custom builders like Ly-Con and Aero Sport with an O-375.
What would you guys go with and why? Thanks.
