Lycoming O-340s

Post by gbritt »

Does anyone still do the O-340 conversion?
Now that you can get certified cranks from ECI,
I've got 4 of them.
Two are really sweet, Mellinnium cylinders, chromed, light weight accs, 190 hrs.
Now I just need something to put them in :)

Try selling those Lycoming O-340s to some of the RV builders. They might go for it if the price is right.

Not to many people are doing engine swaps these days of any kind because of the cost.
CAUTION - My forum posts may be worth what you paid for them!

That's true, Bruce, but there are a lot of RVs being built and the 340 is just a stroked 320, and they sell for a LOT less than the next larger size and much more popular 360.
