This engine, in its military trim as an O-335, was 277 lbs. (see http://home.adelphia.net/~aeroengine/Franklin.html ). That puts it quite a bit heavier than even the Corvair, O-200, and most Subarus (except maybe Les Palmer's, but he's got air conditioning on his). And as long as I've got the soapbox, Jim Vance wrote- >I've only recently graduated from >Krylon spray paint from Walmart. Don't feel too bad... many of us are still in undergraduate studies at the "Rustoleum Institute" (inside joke for some older KRNetters and Mark Langford). Rustoleum in the rattle can is still my weapon of choice!
