Hi Jim: I am building a long-fuselage Piet, and I fully expect to use it as a realAir Camper out here in the West, including to some high and hot places. With that thought in mind, I bought a 4 cylinder Geo-Metro engine with14,000 miles for $650.00, and am adding a water-cooled turbo from the Subaru,thru the fuel injection system plans from Swag Aero. Guys, Grant willprobably cancel my subscription to the Piet Newsletter when he hears aboutthis, and many of you may be cringing out there about now, and I have to tellyou, the layout here is about as simple as baking one of those cut and slicefrozen cookie deals. Like every other part of this experience, just break itdown to the next simple step, and DO IT, and gee-whiz, look where you'vearrived. This set-up will give me great and reliable horsepower and just sipsgas....hard to believe Bernie would have a hissy-fit over those ideas!Best Regards,Warren________________________________________________________________________________

I appreciate Grants positon that if you deviate from the plans then itisn't really a "Pietenpol". It sure is nice to see some exact replicas around.There is a certain beauty in the simple elegance of a good design. But by gum experimenting is fun!John Mc________________________________________________________________________________

Hi John Mc: Thanks for your comments. Had no intention of sounding critical. I very muchappreciate the patienceand detail that many guys have gone to in making exact replicas of the Ford poweredPiets...and theyreally are beauties to behold... Kind of like religious tolerance I guess...if you enjoy it...allow it for others.>________________________________________________________________________________

I really like the soundof a Ford A wether in a Piet or in a car or truck. I guess I was just poking a little fun at Grant.
