Engine conversion for 1953 170B

Post by xbobby15 »

Hello,
I'm pretty new to the 170 world I purchased a 1953B model couple years ago. It has the continental 0300 engine in it and I have an opportunity to purchase a Lycoming. O 360 A1A. Rebuilt motor that's off of BE 95. How would I go about getting the STC to put this on my 170 any information would be greatly appreciative. Robert Ritchie

Robert,
Welcome here!

The FAA database shows the following STCs for the O-360A1A conversion to be “current”:
Supplemental Type Certificates (STC).xlsx
In actuality, only Stoots and Del-Air are actively supporting their respective STCs.

Contact any of the STC-holders found in the resource n2582d posted.

(you might also consider contacting DelAir in Porterville, CA ..one of the best known providers of this modification)
