Well I've made up my mind. I bought an O-360 A4M which is only 10 lbs heavier than the O-320 I have in there now. I am ordering a new Catto 3 blade prop for the increased HP. I have had excellent results from the Catto 3 blade I have on the plane now. Any suggestions on mods to improve engine performance or installation tips while I am down for the installation.

Thanks for everyones positive input and a pox on those who said DON'T DO IT.

Where can I find a WeldTech mount. I found a phone number but it is disconnected. I was doing an Internet search but no luck. Does anyone have any contact info for WeldTech.

What is the reason for using the parallel valve O-360 and modifying it to produce 195 hp instead of just using the angle valve IO-360 which produces 200 hp? Availability? Weight? or ???

I want to put more HP in my LongEZ. I have found a little info about putting a Lyc. 360 in but I want to look at all the pros and cons before proceeding.

I have also had some interest in rotary engines for a long time. Now it is decision time. IO-360 lyc. or ??

I woud like to get input from those who have done either of these conversions on what I should watch out for. Do or not do.

Thanks in advance for your constructive input.
