Does anyone have any knowledge of whether the Lycoming O-290 will work in the Zenair 601 XL. Have heard that they are not any heavier than the O-235, but that's just rumor.

This is the best list I could find - look down the list a bit to the O-235
and O-290 entries.

Bob,
I continue to watch the list of engines applied to the Zenith 601 series
increase in size with great interest.
I think you need to speak with Nick at Zenith on this one. The inside
upper firewall engine mounts that transition the
upper longerons to the firewall and top engine mount brackets are
probably the weakest link and most stressed parts
that keep the aircraft together. We've seen one 601 with a 912 engine,
some extreme corrosion, flown from a bad
concrete runway found these pieces failed. I wouldn't be comfortable
with that large an engine knowing the
actual size of the parts mentioned because it might very well hold up
static loaded, but applying the torque and horsepower
of an 0-290 over time on those parts could get someone killed. Please
check it out with Nick Heintz at Zenith 1-573-581-9000.
Respectfully,
Larry McFarland - 601HDS at www.macsmachine.com
