We finally acquired a serviceable Continental O-200 today to start development of a full EFI/EI kit for these engines to replace the carb and mags. We have a lot of people contacting us about this possibility as it's still a popular engine to use in lighter Homebuilts. In the past, we could only supply most of the separate components needed to do the conversion but it required some fabrication and welding skills to get it done. The first Conti flew with SDS EFI about 20 years ago now.

Plan is to design the required parts such as throttle body, injector mounts, crank trigger bracket etc. and get those into CAD, then CNC'd. We'll then get the engine on our test stand with a prop mounted and run it under load to validate the parts and map the fuel and spark curves.

Happy to be working on this new project which may eventually see some spinoffs for Pete's O-100 setups too. I'll update as we progress.
