Neverquit Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 The ultimate question..... Does anyone know of a website or a comparison chart where we can compare what aircraft engine would be the fastest for a Cozy? Nothing against auto engines, they're cool but it's just my decision for now. The way I see it, it looks like an injected 360 Lyco is the best choice. But I've heard of turbocharging it, new injection systems, etc. And why not a Continental and which one? Why not a 540 like the one at RR?

Jon Matcho Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Does anyone know of a website or a comparison chart where we can compare what aircraft engine would be the fastest for a Cozy?No, but do you really mean 'fastest', or some sort of measurement of 'best'? The way I see it, it looks like an injected 360 Lyco is the best choice.Ah, 'best'. I like that option too. How about Superior? What about the Lycoming 390? ...and why not a Continental...Popularity. Why not a 540 like the one at RR?Additional gallons per hour for little gain in miles per hour. Add that big engine and you need to either add a lot more ballast or change the location of the wheelbase.

Nathan Gifford Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 The big problem with the 540 is weight. The 540 at RR was in a highly modified Cozy. The pilot (Chris?) did not elaborate on what mods he did do to the Cozy frames besides the obvious ones.
