Thanks for the pointers.  Any way to access the full discussion when the topic search is used?  I can get to original comments, but they are all alone with no replies.

Are there any manual, guides, videos that show how to mount an O200A on a Varieze.  Internet searches have yielded little.

OK, thanks for the advice.

Any recommendations for finding a prop for a Varieze?  POH recommends 56X70 for an O-200.  Internet searches aren't yielding any great finds, maybe someone can recommend a supplier.  

I think this POH was written by Burt Rutan himself, so I'm guessing he's an authority?  

A better question might be this:  Are there any Varieze owners out there that use O-200A?

This is a screenshot from the POH for Varieze:

Just realized O-200A is mentioned in the POH for Varieze, which I found online as a pdf.  

So I assume it's okay to purchase one and install it, assuming mounting is similar to C85.

I am considering the purchase of a Varieze sans engine.  It used to have a C85.  I understand other models use O-200B (pusher).  I gather other variants of the O-200 (e.g. A or D) cannot be used, because they are "puller" type engines rather than pusher.  

Problem is, O-200B is not easy to find.

I am wondering why the puller type engines can't be used, just turn the prop around.  Simple.  Maybe too simple?  Maybe someone can educate me on this, thanks.
