Complete Firewall-Forward (FWF) packages for a variety of powerplants...
Our FWF Packages are designed to provide builders with a comprehensive selection of quality components with which to complete the engine installation on their Zenith aircraft. Many off-the-shelf items (fasteners, brackets, hoses, controls, etc.) are supplied as part of these complete packages. Please note that we do not sell the smaller "non-Zenith" items separately. It is best to call a specialty-shop like Aircraft Spruce for these smaller individual items (such as fasteners, brackets, hoses, controls, sensors, etc.). For customers who already have a major component normally provided in a FWF package (i.e. the engine mount), we can remove this item from the package when you order - see below for our policy regarding "deletions" from packages.
For instructions on how to install your FWF Package, see here!

Request a fresh quote for the latest pricing information and use the Packing List supplied with your purchase to conduct your inventory (not the sample packing lists, pictures or videos linked below!).

Propellers:
For many years, we included common brand-name fixed-pitch propellers in our Firewall Forward Packages. Now that affordable wood and/or composite propellers are readily available from so many quality manufacturers and suppliers, most of our FWF Packages no longer include a propeller. Most builders seeking to get the most performance from their aircraft (in either cruise or climb mode) will be better-served by an adjustable-pitch propeller. One such brand of props is Whirlwind Propellers; these fine props can be ordered separately from the manufacturer. |

*All prices in U.S. funds. All prices, equipment, packing lists and availability subject to change without prior notice.
Prices do not include crating or shipping charges (FOB Factory).
Getting the installation information for Zenair or Zenith-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 Zenith'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 (including propeller). Thank you for your understanding.
