I'm looking at the O-235 C1 or C2C as an alternate solution to my original plan of upgrading my 1966 7ECA from the O-200 to O-320 150hp via one time STC.
Can any one give me an idea as to general performance of a 7ECA with the oleo gear and the O-235 C1 or C2C? I've heard mixed things on the C1 as far as being a "good" engine or not. Have also noticed this engine being listed with contradictory hp rating - I've seen both 108hp & 115hp listed - which one is correct? What is the C2C rated at?
Finally, can anyone tell me if the O-235 K2C is compatible with the same "older" round style boot & cowl, given the oleo gear and how it fits with all that? I've been told the oleo gear may not fit with the "newer" square style boot & cowl ACA uses with their O-235 K2C 7ECA Aurora - is this understanding correct?
