Hello again everyone
Id like to start off by thanking everyone for helping me out to decide on a previous project i almost bought, thankfully with your wise advice i walked away to find something better;

Here i am looking at an aviat certified pitts s1s Brand new fabric and all structure has been inspected before recovering, the catch is i dont want the engine as its an angle valve 200+ horses with hollow crank and flange with lightening holes! A disaster waiting to happen ...the seller agreed to sell the airframe/wings only but it has been close to impossible to find a certified stock engine for that pitts, an aeio360-b4a

My question is.... How hard is it to stc a different io360 in there?
Or can it even be done?? I really like the airframe with the new fabric and red paint scheme if only i can find a certfied engine to install and fly it into the sunset (inverted ofcourse)
Your thoughts?
