Another Chevy 6

[Jess Meyers]

Dave Timberlake of Phoenix flew his 6 Sun the 17th. It is powered by a Chevrolet V-6 Dave reports it lands better with 30 psi in the tires.

Jess sent me some photos of the flight, here are a couple.

performance information

I like the pics but any chance of having video so we can hear how the engine sounds? What about any statistical data on the performance of the engine? Perhaps some info on the installation?

Jess do you have a website we can visit to see details of the installation of the Chevy V6?

...according to Jess. IIRC, he has around 300 or so Chevy's flying.

Seeing those pics makes me wonder if anyone has ever incorporated a ram air induction scoop on the top of the cowl for such an engine installation, and if it would be worth the effort.
