FWF Engine Package for Bearhawk
Featuring the Geared Drives PSRU and Chevrolet LS1 engine, our newest firewall forward package for Bearhawk is nearing completion.  The completed running weight is lighter than IO-540
and offers more shaft HP to the prop via torque multiplication through the gearbox.  Torsional vibrations are resolved in the specially designed centrifugal clutch and flywheel assembly. Operation is smooth and seamless.

Here are some recent photos.  Updated photos will be posted periodically, and an actual run up video will be posted upon completion of the engine package.  Click on each photo for a full sized view.
