Bob; I retired from a Public utility governed by the Public Service Comm.
Everything was cost plus 14%, so we never had time to do it right, but we
always had time and money to do it over. JohnD

The place I used to work had two quality goals:
1. Do it right the first time
2. Continuous improvement
If you do it right the first time, how can you improve it? Never did
quite figure it out.

was!"

15-20 lbs of weight if I redid my FWF again from scratch based on lessons
learned. Its easier to keep the weight down than to remove it later {:>)

> Bob, Mistral is listing the weight of the 20B conversion at 395 with
radiators I believe. The 20B will produce IO 540 like HP though. The 13B
done well can make almost 200HP without even P-porting. Most 13B's so far
are about the same weight as a 360 with all the plumbing. Carefully setup
the 13B NA engine shoould be lighter than a O-360, you just need to do a
carefull engineering job.
