Tom,
This engine was shown at 2010 Sun n Fun. The specs suggested perhaps the engine would have to run a little higher rpm
than most re-drives because of the peak HP curve. I had a Honda Fit for 2 years and loved the cars performance.
Not so much muscle, but it didn’t mind the high rpms, was extremely reliable and well made. The attached picture shows
this displayed Viking engine in a 601HDS.

Tom,
If this is a 601XL you are planning to put it in, I was going back and forth with Viking on the engine mount and resulting W&B. It sounded to me like the default engine mount would position the engine too far aft and result in a CG that was a bit too far aft. Other than that, I am seriously considering swapping my Jabiru 3300 sometime in the next year.

I have ordered a Viking Engine, which is a Honda Fit conversion. Anyone using this engine? I've watched the installation video and I'm impressed with the completeness of the conversion. Jan Eggenfellner has included some installation hardware, like a machined holder for the dual fuel pumps, which I find an improvement over what I've seen for UL installations. I'd really like to hear of any first-hand experience with the engine. I'll be glad to share my experiences with individuals interested in a dialogue after my December delivery.
