• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I'm planning to install an IO-540-G1D5 on my Skybolt, but the stock oil sump and injector servo setup will extend about 6" into my firewall, not to mention requiring a complete redesign of the bottom half of the engine mount. Looking at replacement options has me pretty bewildered, so I'm hoping the group can chime in with advice, experience, etc. with some of the aftermarket solutions available out there. I'm leaning towards the Sky Dynamics sump/cold air induction solution, but mostly because they have the most info on their website.

Thoughts?
