Mike; I guess what Lowell was referring to was the image that was with his post,showing an injected inline Ford. If you can't see that, go tohttp://forums.matronics.com and go to the Piet forum. You'll see that imageattached to the post.Pretty interesting setup and also has a magneto installed pointing forwardrather than hung off the back of the Ford like most. It would seem thatwith so many inline injected 4-cyl. engines on the road these days, taking oneoff a car and installing it on an airplane wouldn't be too difficult but thenagain there is the "black box" that controls the darned things. Too manysensors, pickups, wires, and programming details to make them work.Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CCSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sun, 21 Dec 2008 16:02:48 -0800 (PST)

The Injection body installed on this Ford B, was first tried on a stock Ford Ain 1992 and ran for 2 years (110 Hrs ) The increase in RPM ran take-off enginespeed at 1450 RPM with a 76X42 Prop. After the trial run the babbit was inspectedand was perfect. This A Ford engine was at Oshkosh during that EAA PietenpolInterview.This Ford B installation has a stock Lambert , 90 HP, prop, (76X57), and will turn2250 RPM. And by the way there isn't any electronics involved, 4.5 GPH fuelconsumption, no carb heat required, primer injects fuel at intake ports. Idlesat 550 RPM. Look close at photo , you will see many bolt-on go-fasts. thisB Ford has close to 300 Hrs, and no problems.Pieti LowellRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Mike: careful... real Piets are not fuel injected ;o)In both a light-hearted and yet a serious way, I look at that injectedFord and see not only all of Mr. Pietenpol, but also a lot of what hascome after him. No, that engine is not converted according to Mr.Pietenpol's clear and complete details. The leather flex coupling forthe mag isn't there, neither is the original carb, and very likelynot much of the engine interior is per his details- and yet there it is,a nifty and reliable conversion. Experimental aviation at its finest,and all of it based on the tried-and-true, soon to be 80-year-old designthat started life on the floor of a barn.Start with a stable and forgiving platform and tweak to your heart's content.There are not too many marginal aspects of the airplane, so we can doa lot of different things to it and still end up with a good flier.Oscar ZunigaOriginal, unaltered, true-blue Air Camper NX41CC ;o)San Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________
