My '79 8KCAB is getting a top overhaul. Currently it has an AEIO-320-E2B. My mechanic has said he can make it a 160 hp but I need to find the STC for it. I have looked in the file section on the Yahoo forum and found a list of STC's for Citabrias and Decathlons but none pertaining to this hp upgrade. Can someone enlighten me please?

Thanks,
Richard
 
Both Lycon and Ram have 160 hp ugrade STCs, however they can be costly and require some new parts including cylinders. The best way is to just get a field approval for your engine. its easy, cheap, and quick. I think if your mechanic installs the 75089 pistons and the heavy wall wrist pins there should be no problem getting field approval...and oh yeah...and no more car gas.
 
Peterson has an autogas STC for the 160 HP Citabria but it does require the use of at least 91 octane fuel.
