 Posted: Mon Jun 04, 2007 8:03 pm Post subject: Want width of Kitfox Model IV cowling/"engine bay" |
 |
|
I just bought a Kitfox Model IV unassembled kit from the original purchaser. My purchase includes no firewall-forward items.
So I'm researching engines and need to know the maximum internal width of the "engine bay" inside the Model IV factory cowling. I'd like to compare this to the cowl supplied by Great Plains for their VW motor for the Kitfox. I understand the VW motors are 32 inches wide, while a Corvair motor, for instance, is substantially narrower at 28 inches. I suppose that's because the Corvair's displacement is distributed among more cylinders.
At any rate, if anybody has the width of the Rotax 912 & 914 and Subaru EA-81, I'd like to see that, too. That would tell me how accommodating the factory cowl can be to both "supported" and "unsupported" engines.
Incidentally, I tried to get the width of the factory cowling from Kitfox, but they have a policy against releasing dimensions, so I can't get it there. Can somebody with a tape measure help me out? And where did you folks get cowlings from that mounted Subarus? From Kitfox or elsewhere?

Lots of peekers, no proffers?
