I've got a 0-145 lyc and the overhaul manual. There are three types of the
0-145 a,b and c models. The a and b models are rated 65hp at 2500rpm. The c
model rated 75hp at 3200rpm. The only difference between b and c models is that
the c has an internal reduction gear that reduces the prop speed from 3200 to
arround 2100 I think ??(I don't have the manual with me-- doing this from
memeroy which ain't too good lately). I think the manual said weight with
carb--mags ect.. is 183lbs not counting a starter. I have a b model-- the 2
mags by themselves weight 15 lbs. I think it's just too heavy for a kr2. I'm
still undesided what engine I will use on mine. I plan to build everything I
can without the engine, do a w/b then deside on engine type. At the moment I'm
leaning toward the EJ22 suberue or the corvair.

Just a question for the group. It may be premature (since I have a long way
to go), but I noticed a Lycoming 0 145 for sale on Ebay. Would that be an
acceptable power plant for a KR2S? It is a 65 horsepower and weighs about 165
pounds. Any thoughts?
