I'm looking at changing the 320 to a 360 on my 6a and have a line on a 180 hp A1D and a 200 hp C1C for about the same $. I realize the C1C is a rear sump so taking the extra work of the installation out of the equation and looking only at the hp/wight is the extra 20 hp worth the extra 30 something lbs? Is most of that weight the fuel injection components vs. the carb or are the engine internals that much different?
Thx!
We put a I0 360 200 hp in our 6 and have been happy with it.The plane weight was 1069 with a simple panel Oregon areo seats constant speed.We flight plan 175 kts.with a fuel burn of 8 per hour.The plane does great in the Idaho Backcountry.Would do it the same if doing it again
