I remember someone was working on installing a Franklin 4A-235 engine in an Ercoupe. It mounts uses the same mounts and such as the Continentals... 115HP for the 8.5:1 ratio standard setup, or 145HP for the 11:1 ratio high compression piston setup if I recall correctly. The 8.5:1 allows for auto fuel while the 11:1 would require 100LL. Looking at Franklin's website, they are selling a new engine for $6900. That's pretty good. I could live with with the 1500 hr TBO at that price. - Jason
