Default FWFWD KIT suggestions
Anyone mind chimming in on suggestions. I am ordering my FWFWD for an IO-320 in a 9a.
The following mods to standard are what i am thinking.

DELETE engine mounts and order LORD mounts. (anyone have a good source)
Upgrade oil cooler to stewart warner
Upgrade alternator to plane power
Delete airbox as i got avery's stainless steel one.


Anybody have any other suggestions worth considering. I have not found a good source for the LORDS or info on exactly which model i would need. Thanks for any help.

The newer FWF kits come with the Plane Power Alternator.

For an O-320 do you really need the better oil cooler?
