Of course, with the exception of yesterday, this thread is seven years old.

For instance............ from 7/05

Im not even going to use a Subaru, but in honest analysis I find it a better engine than a Lycoming on every count. THIS DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT WILL BE BETTER IN AN AIRCRAFT. That depends on how well it is setup for aircraft. Eggenfellners package is a good one and even the most mechanically challenged (who are capable of building an RV) should have no problems with it.

Some thoughts may have changed, since that was written.

I'm sorry, Larry (and Ross). I just had to think awhile about my reply...

I think you'll want to put this in the Classifieds section. It will also be helpful to potential buyers if you specify which Egg 4 cyl (supercharged, non-supercharged, STi), as I'm sure that's the first question they'd be asking.
