Re: +98 Isuzu 3.2 used as a plane engine:
I've seen a Spitfire experimental kit plane at an airshow. Real sharp craft but maybe I'd want a Lycoming or Continental engine behind the prop. You know, something with a gazillion hours proven airtime. Even the Bombardier engines put into ultralights will fail and drop like stones every once in awhile.
So a 3.2 was used...........someone had some faith. Could they have used anything in addition to the bare block?

I mean the builder didn't even safety-WIRE the coil connectors in place that I can see. Notice anything else?

The valve cover gaskets don't seem to be leaking yet. And I hope he upgraded the IMG...

Nice PhotoShop (NOT!) That might get certification for 1G flight - Maybe.
I'm with Highland - Even a Subaru flat six would be better than that.

Re: +98 Isuzu 3.2 used as a plane engine:
they charge $38,329.49 U.S. for the non-supercharged engine, I'm pretty sure for that price they've reworked the engine with new internals for a long service life.

Re: +98 Isuzu 3.2 used as a plane engine:
Personally, I'd like to see one with the LS7 platform... Aluminum block, factory dry sump oiling, 505 hp, 475 ft-lbs, 26 mpg in a car, and from my experience with an LS1 Trans Am, GM's V8 is the stuff of legend. Add to that, the LS7 has titanium rods.

Re: +98 Isuzu 3.2 used as a plane engine:
Cool looking setup! I didn't know it was possible to flip the intake manifold around. I'd like to hear it run with those open headers.
 The only thing I'd like to 'fly' in with that is maybe a swamp buggy! Joel
