O-320 Engine Mount
« on: August 11, 2010, 12:45:11 AM »
I have an O-235 L2C  that I'm planning to swap out with an  O-320.   I've heard the motor mount needs to be stregthened with gussets to help support the extra weight and torque.

Does anyone have any ideas where the gussets need to go ?  Or how many ?  Any drawings on this ?  I have the conical mount.

Thanks for the input.

I sent mine to Hal Hunt and he welded in the gussets.

Yeah  he offered to do it for me too, . .  $ 200.00 plus shipping.   But it appears now that I am going to stay with the O-235 for the moment.  I'd like to get some bug guts (as Bill James says)  on my bird ! !

D. Swenson says that the cozy girls have the info on their site as well.
