A more realistic FWF weight, including water, oil, PSRU, alternator,
starter, coils and engine mount is probably closer to 330 - 350 pounds.
(I forget if that is with or without my wood prop and spinner).
Just because the long block only weighs 170 pounds doesn't mean the
final instllatino isn't much higher.
All the different brackets, nut and bolts, ducting, etc. all add up.

Shahar, you
better make sure the 13B is not too heavy for the Q-2. Installed weight
could be just over 300 Lbs. I have a friend with Q2 and small Subaru
engine. He had to move the battery in the tail. The 13B is heavier than
his Subaru engine.

Thanks
very much to all of you, its a really nice list.
I will get video and manuals.
The aircraft is Quickie. I thought to
work on the engine mean while I am waiting to the warmer period before
touching the epoxy again.
I would prefer the simplest conversion:
what should I chose? carbs/injection or.....
Thanks to all of you again,
Shahar

Many thanks for your replay. Any
specific suggestions for books or videos?

You're welcome. Ken is
right, get the oil cooler too. As for books of videos, do you mean
for rebuild, or conversion to aircraft use? Bruce Turrentine put out
a great video for rebuilding the 13B. That's pretty much a must have
item. Tracy has a book on rotary engine conversion for aircraft
also. Having a factory manual for a 92 RX-7 would also be useful.
What aircraft are you
going to put this in ?
Cheers,
