Mike Jauregui Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Hi, I hope you guys are doing great! Quick question, I know that the original Long EZ was designed around a Lycoming 235 which results in 100 hp, the Aeromomentum AM15 produces 147 Hp, I'm not an expert and the Long EZ is my first project so I was wondering if I could use that power plant instead of the Lycoming. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voidhawk9 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I have thought this might be a good combination, but I am not aware of anyone planning to do so yet. It looks like a great way to have a lighter engine but with more power.

Kent Ashton Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I imagine it could be done but the low profile version is $16,500. Throw in a custom engine mount and jiggering with the intake, exhaust and cooling setup to suit a pusher, it doesn't seem like a great advantage over a used O-320. Would you use a prop extension? It is a rather blunt engine without one and with an extension you'd have to determine if the redrive is strong enough. The choice of prop would be another question.
