----- I recently picked up a Pietenpol on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dl ... 1625257429 ) . It's missing the engine motormount and cowling. I originallyplanned on using a converted Corvair engine but have recently come accross a used Continental A65. The seller describes the A65 as having 250 hrs SMOH.Any thoughts out there on how these two engines compair? I'm also looking for alternatives for a cowling. I have no experiencewith fiberglass so I'd like to avoing building one from scratch. Wouldsomething like a J3 cowling fit the Piet?-------------------------------- I looked at your pictures.It appears that you bought a rag wing Pietreplica & not a Pietenpol aircamper. For the engine installation Isuggest that you contact the kit manufacturer.

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Engine suggestions for PietSince you apparently have the ultra-light version of the AirCamper, you might consider using a 1/2 VW conversion. Several are available, listed in Sport Aviation and the Experimenter. Just another option....good luck.

I'm in the midst of building a Half VW for another project. Great engine,especially if you can contact Len Bechtold at Team-38 (believe it'steam-38.com) and get two of his Mosler VW heads/cylinders. Mine is half ofa 2165 cc, 82 HP engine, so it'll be 1182 cc, about 42-45 HP. There's a bitless friction loss with the 1/2. Weight is about 82 lb. installed.Craig----- Original Message -----
