Exp. Lycoming 0360 in Carbon Cub Kit

[jimaus]

Has anyone fitted a Exp. 0360 Lycoming Engine model YO-360-C4P, to a Carbon Cub Kit aircraft???

Rick Orchard has fitted an O-360 to a Carbon Cub EX and it worked really well, but he installed a Cub Crafters lightweight oil sump to make the carb and airbox fit under the cowling. The MA-4-5 carb is 2" longer than the MA-4-SPA.

Thanks

Mitch, Maybe Rick was told that he would need to modify the 0360 before he bought the kit, built the aircraft, bought a brand new 0360 engine from Lycoming and was then told " you need to fit a smaller sump or a smaller carb" Jim
