Got a line on an O-360-A1F6, which is the 180hp A1A but with the counterweighted crank. This specific combo isn't addressed in the Hartzell chart of tested combinations, but I actually have two questions: One, is this engine, with its front-mount governor, suitable for the RV-7, and two, will it swing that prop safely? This is further complicated by the fact that there's no carb on this engine, so I'd put an Ellison TBI or Precision Silverhawk system on it. The core alone is worth the asking price, so if it's at all viable, I'm going to do it. Anyone know of any obvious non-starters with this engine/prop combination?
