Gentlemen,
my engine is approaching TBO and after
unsuccessfully trying to purchase a new
Housai-Engine, I am playing with the thought
to have a brand-new M14PF-XDK (from George
Coy) installed combined with a MT-Propeller on
my Nanchang.
Any thoughts, ideas, tips and experiences are
very much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Regards
Elmar (C-FTKL)

I would whole heartedly say yes - do it. Now there nothing wrong with HS6A engine except as you say, you can't find a new one. Very rare. The straight M-14P will give you 75 more hp which will translate right into you rate of climb big time. With the MT on that of course its only better. Better performance is always a plus toward safety.
The whole project is very doable without major redesign or construction. With all parts on hand, should take less than a week to make the change.
And finally you will recover a great deal ( not all ) of your cost in resale. A M-14p powered CJ will sell quicker too.
I've just kicked over 1,300 hours on my (new from Aerostar) M-14 on my CJ-6. It is by far the best mod I've done to this aircraft.

You may want to check with the Feds before doing anything, in Canada the CJ6
is in the "Special C of A Limited" class as opposed to "Experimental" in the
US
which does allow for modifications to the original configuration.
On the other hand,
Factory first overhaul Huosai engines are available
that have TT since new of 600 hours or less.
In my opinion every bit as good as new.

Elmar,
Joe is correct. Canada can be very difficult when it comes to unusual
airplanes. I did get my M14 approved on the CJ, but it was quite a long
process. Most of the time TC will require your modification be done with the
help of a DAR that will basically write a Limited Specific Type Approval
(LSTA) fr your airplane along with an AFM amendment. I strongly suggest you
find a TC inspector that truly understand the Regs before starting to invest
some major $$ into this project.
When I did my modification, I wrote my own AFM amendment. Had it approved by
TC . If you want a copy, I could send you one.
Hope this helps,
Dan
