Below are several photos of a current Zenith / Corvair installation I shot in my front yard this morning. 2016 marks our 13th consecutive year of working with Zenith builders, dating back to Grace and I buying our own kit from the factory, and building and flying the first Corvair powered Zenith.
.
Over the years, we have refined the installation in a number of details, but at its basic core, it is a proven American made engine with a long track record of serving individuals who selected it.

Above 2400-L starter and DFI ignition.

.
Engine is only 28″ wide.

The firewall is common to all models of Zenith 601/ 650/750. The mount shown is for a 750, the 600 series is nearly identical.
now what about when you are disassembling the engine what kind of stand do you use , vertical or horizontal, mounted to the prop hub or to the engine mount holes
Dewayne,
Disassembly is not a big factor, you can just take it apart on the bench, a stand is not required. I have probably taken apart 500 engines in the last 27 years, and I do not use a stand. When it comes to assembly, I do use a stand, and you can see it in many of the Corvair College photos, it is royal blue. -ww.

That is my plan for the 750 STOL. Kit nearly 50% complete
