I was told you guys on the Zenith list might now a little more about the Ram Engines subaru conversions? Here is what I am looking at: I am building a Kitfox and am having trouble deciding on an engine. I could go with the tried and true Rotax 912 but I want a bit more power and performance.

A couple weeks ago, I cam across Ram Engines and their subaru conversions. I like the looks of the EA81 conversion they do that reportedly puts out 140 hp. The specs on the engine put it just slightly heavier than the Rotax but with 40 more horsepower! That has got to be good right? Well, I have heard some bad things about subaru conversions but I believe that most of them stem from the NSI conversions that has since gone south. I called and spoke with Ron at Ram Engines and he seemed to be very nice and extremely knowledgable.

Now the question: Does anyone have any experience with Ram Engines? How does the engine run? Is the weight as specified? Have there been any major problems with the engine? Etc.

I am looking specifically for information about the engines and the experience with Ram Engines from a customer support standpoint. I am hoping you guys may provide more insight as I like the looks of this powerplant.

Thanks,

Darin

Joe,

Yes and they were very helpful but that was on the engines list and I was told to try it on the Zenith list as there are a bunch of guys flying them.
