I can't wait Bert, Owned or maintained many a boxer over the years - First car was a 65 VW bug. A lot of time wrenching and running Continentals and Lycomings. We had quite a fleet of Piper PA-31's and running and testing the fuel injected/turbo'ed TIO-540's was always a treat as they made great power and sounded so mean when the boost came on.. I actually have 3 bodies and Many engines for a mid 60's Chevrolet Corvair project I might get at one day. Looking forward to this one - Deal is done and it on its way.

My plan (right now) is to explore the possibility of making a TBI carb for it - Looks doable from what I can see in Pics as to the arrangement. Think a pressure regulator might be in the cards to to allow the tank to be placed up higher because of the low carb - but that could depend on the install I guess. Think I might try it out first on the Scratch build (ugly stick-ish) being done for the Supertiger 20cc - Planning a universal mounting to be able to swap Power plants. Then maybe something "Cub-ish"
