Does anyone know what the differences are between this and the D4A5 that is used on an RV10 and what it takes to alter one to suit?

Reason I ask is I can get one easily and a friend is building a -10 and it might be a good option.

Thanks

The K means angle valve cylinders vice parallel. As I understand, the K is heavier and larger...and was told not an acceptable choice for the -10. - Jim

The D4A5 is a parallel valve engine and the K series engines are angle valve and 300HP.
Good Luck,

I figured that was the case.

Thanks!
