Thanks very much for your imput! I'm very seriously looking at the 20B engine to power my a/c. I've come from a farm, autobody/mech. shop and now work as a mechanical draftsman so I'm not the least bit scared of building an engine.. infact I think I'd rather do it that way so I know what it looked like when it went in.[Plus I can get most of my parts at near wholesale through my Father at his shop <---- That always helps w/ the costs right?? ;-) ] I've also got an Uncle who built Turbo 13b Rx-7 for my Cousin[ he's 14 and his dad built him a..!! ] Anyway theres lots of experiance to pull from if I need it so.. to make a long story short.. I'd like to buy just a core and build my 20B. Does anyone know if its alot more money to build a 20B from 13B parts? Anyone on here ever done it? Can anyone put me in touch w/ anyone else who has? I've borrowed a copy of the Tracy's old newsletters [Thanks VERY much Perry !!] I'm going to buy both his book and my own copy of the newsletters! Some very valuable stuff. I'm at a lucky stage right now as I can totally configure my engine install to suite my airframe, or rather build the airframe around the engine. But I do need to decide what engine its going to be. Thanks again guys for the help! Jarrett Johnson
