FIREWALL FORWARD PACKAGE:
The classic (and very common) Continental 0-200 engine is an excellent low-cost alternative for the Zodiac CH 601/CH650 series as well as for the STOL CH 750 and CRUZER, and Zenair offers a comprehensive FWF package for this readily-available 100 HP aircraft engine. Our affordable FWF package, together with a refurbished or overhauled second-hand engine makes for a very economical firewall-forward solution! This is virtually the same FWF package which was supplied by Zenair for the S-LSA and E-LSA versions of these aircraft. Package includes engine cowling, engine mount with rubber mounts and other items including:

A note about oil coolers: Oil coolers (radiators) come in different shapes and sizes depending on how much oil cooling is required. This depends on where/when you fly - some builders don't need one at all. For this reason, and so that builders can install the size they need, an Oil Cooler is not included as part of our standard FWF package for the O-200.
For owners of a Continental FWF package, plans, installation manuals & photo-guides are available HERE.
*A note about propellers: Most customers looking for an inexpensive fixed-pitch propeller will find good second-hand props that are well-adapted for the Continental O-200 engine. For builders wanting a NEW prop, you will achieve better performances with a ground-adjustable propeller which can be fined tuned for specific flight characteristics. Warpdrive makes good basic propellers; for a higher-end ground-adjustable prop, see here for a possible WhirlWind alternative.
Continental Engine Mounts: (Mounts only)
Zenair can supply just the engine mount to builders installing a Continental engine on their Zenair design... "Engine mounts" do not include rubber mounts, brackets or hardware of any kind. Just the one-piece welded mount.

Getting the installation information for Zenair-provided FWF Packages:
Once you have purchased your FWF Package, you will want the instructions on how to install it. Much of this information is found in the password-protected "Builder Section" of the Zenith Aircraft Website. In addition, many more valuable drawings and photo-guides are also available through the fairly new "Documents & Manuals" area of this (Zenair) site. Don't attempt your engine installation without access to these resources! To get the passwords, simply follow the instructions here.
A note about "deletions" from Zenair's FWF Packages:
Please note that the above FWF packages have been conceived, produced, sold, and crated to optimize efficiency as well as the value of each package. Individual component deletions result in reduced efficiency and increased costs; credits allowed for deleted components will therefore be adjusted to reflect this. Bottom line: Customers will receive less than retail credit for deleted components. Thank you for your understanding.
