RE: Ryobi and Homelite engine dimensions
The Quadra is new (older but un-run). I can get it pretty cheap. A lot cheaper than the Brillelli. The depth in the cowl is about 6" from the nose ring to the firewall so the Quadra would be tight. Width shouldn't be a problem. I have a feeling the Quadra would swing a bigger prop than either of the conversions.
