Hi Brett,
Here would be a start, also: http//www.homebuiltairplanes.com/forums/
http://www.pfa.org.uk/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi
There are plenty of other places listed on the Homebuilt website.
How about EAA pages, lots of scope there.
I wish you the best of luck with the project.
Cheers,

I was looking at the dyno charts on your web page. I'm sure these are crank HP/TQ numbers but they are impressive.
I was wondering what has been changed on the engine for aircraft use. Heads, Carb, Ignition, Cams, Aircleaner? I looks like a nice flat torque curve for a twincam. This can't be a "drag" type exhaust. Can it?

Yes these are crank HP #'s.
We change them all except the heads. If we change the heads then we can get more out of it. But most people don't want to spend the extra money. On my plane I have a stright pipe " drag style" exhaust. We can get about 8 more hp. if we use a 2 into 1 exhaust. But I wanted the sound for fly overs and shows etc.
