Henni, In my 25 year exposure to KR's and having built one with an 0-200, I would ABSOLUTELY NOT RECOMMEND going with an engine that heavy and with that much power. Too many changes to be made to accommodate such an engine. I think Jeff Scott had a good idea. If it is too good of a deal to pass up, make the deal and then trade down or sell the engine to purchase a much more acceptable engine. If I had the money :-( I would go with a Continental IO-240. Same basic weight as an 0-200 but fuel injected and 125 hp. Now that would make an AWESOME flying KR2S with very few , if any, changes. IMHO Larry Flesner
