Sorry Harald,

Those engines were actually aftermarket Chevy small block engines, not corv= ette engines. Depending on what ignition setup and what PSRU is with i= t, you may have an unsafe power plant. There were only a very few of t= hese that were delivered to customers and it would be interesting to know wh= ich one you have. If the PSRU has a cast case, I would be very cautiou= s and would look for another technology. The one I'm thinking of has t= hree telescoping quill torque tubes as drivers that reduce the propeller spe= ed and damp harmonic vibration. They do this job OK, But they have wal= ls about 60 thousandths of an inch thick and are prone to break. If they do t= his in flight you will be an instant glider. If you need repairs or se= rvice for this device you will likely never be able to find anyone to help. &= nbsp;Internal gears are totally non standard and will likely be impossible t= o duplicate.

There were never any manuals or techni= cal papers developed for these engines. The mechanic who built the pro= totype never shared detailed technical information even with the owners of t= he company.

The electronic ignition system ne= ver really worked very well either.

Hello Lancairowners,

we are home= builders from Germany and work at a fullscale warbird replica,
following= the plans of designer Marcel Jurca.

Engine is an  2000-2002 Eng= ineAir V8, turbocharged with twin intercoolers,
like flown in some Lancairs IV-P in the early 2000's.

We are in need of a copy abo= ut this V8  EngineAir  handbook, and hope to
find friendly contact to any Lancair V8 owners to share knowhow.

It w= ould be nice you can help.

Best Regards and Viele Grüße from Germany
