Hello all,
Is it possible on our experimental aircraft to convert a Lycoming O-360-A4A from a Cherokee 180D to a O-360-A1A with the hollow crankshaft to allow the use of a constant speed propeller?
I ask because I'd be interested in doing this as part of the next engine overhaul. Any idea what the ballpark pricing would be? Looking around it appears that a standard overhaul would be $15,000-$20,000 assuming a good core; what can I expect the conversion (if possible) to add to that cost?
Thanks!
Evan
