Anyone know anything about this engine?

 

 Just idle curiosity on my part.

 

I don’t know, but I think he is ‘overselling’ the engine, and my installation just a bit.  That stock intake manifold and TB is rather massive, even though aluminum, so it is not likely to make my overall installation weight – which is actually 430#. And for a 2.17 : 1 redrive I rate it at 260 hp at the limit of prop speed. But still, the 20B is a great engine!

 

Robin, is that your engine?
