Bob,in a recent flying rag,either Kitplanes or Sport Aviation,there was ashort blurp on a Pietenpol called "poplar piet"which was powered with the2.5 liter chevy.Can't seem to put my hands on it right now,but will keeplooking.I will try and remember to look up the torque output of the engineat work,and will get back to you.

Where can one find out more aboutit and how would it compare weight wise against the Ford A? Alsoit the RPM range such that it could be used without a reduction unit?Thanks,Bob B.________________________________________________________________________________
