PRICE:
There is not a more reasonable priced aircraft engine on the market today. For about the price of a quality rebuild, you can purchase a Factory NEW certified engine.
The Franklin / PZL 4A-235-B3 aircraft engine was developed to be a higher power replacement for the Continental A-65 through 0-200 engine line. As a result, the Franklin engine will fit directly to an 0-200 engine mount, the exhaust system and carburetor mounts in nearly the same location and the cowling will usually still fit. The 4A-235 weighs within a few pounds of an 0-200 when the engine are comparably equipped, yet it is rated at 120 HP.
The New Franklin / PZL 6A-350-C1R 220 HP powerplant is the most powerful Franklin engine in production today. It is the latest of the six cylinder line that has been powering certified aircraft for well over 30 years. The 6A-350 is best known for its smoothness and excellent performance in high density altitude conditions.
The combination of high power and light weight makes the 6A-350 the perfect engine to upgrade the aircraft to a rebuild time. The same advantage makes them the powerplant of choice for STC conversions and the new breed of high performance experimental category aircraft being built today.
