Re: 160 hp F-19

You can switch to an F-22 Taylorcraft, it already has a Lycoming engine mount and the larger fuel tanks you will need. It also has flaps which are very useful. I believe the type certificate allows up to 180 HP. This would be a lot more useful of an airplane, and already has a higher gross weight allowance.

If you figure your time into it you will likely agree it is a lot cheaper than a 160 conversion on a B model, and there are far less compromises you would be making. Not to mention you'll be flying a LOT sooner.

Also, the F models have movable seats and larger baggage compartments.

Come to think of it, you can buy a 180 horsepower Auster "Workmaster" from England and get a very heavy duty bushplane that has everything you want in it already, plus control sticks, plus a skylight, and be flying in the time it takes to ship the aircraft over from England. Check the exchange rate, your dream airplane might already be sitting in a hangar somewhere with a for sale sign on it. Check www.austerclub.org and www.globalplanesearch.com

Re: 160 hp F-19

Does anyone have 337 for installing a 160 hp Lycoming in the F-19?
I know one in Alaska was done, looking for another to back up my field approval attempt.
Thanks

You better have the big tanks holding 36 gallons becasue that is the biggest complaint. At 24 gallons with two 6 gallon wings and one 12 gallon nose you
are on reserve in under three hours .

Maybe this is what you are looking for???

Edit- Never mind, that is for a Stinson I believe.

Re: 160 hp F-19

I'm not sure which one of them did those conversions, but I may be able to figure it out. If I do I'll let you know.

I'll google it, but not sure who you mean to ask.

Re: 160 hp F-19

I think that is commonly called the Alsworth Conversion. You may want to try to ask them.
