Bruce,
I drove to Oshkosh, its about an hour drive for me. I have been building my plane for 28 years now and its not much further along than it was in 1980. However, I have redone 3 Power Wagons over that time. The Dodges are much easier to work on and much more affordable. I priced a factory rebuilt engine for my plane yesterday and it was $24000.00. The engine is 4 cylinder, air cooled, and 200hp.
