I've read that the weight of this conversion, including oil and prop, is about 230 lbs.  To verify this I'd have to put the engine on a scale.  I have not done any W&B other than "back of the envelope" calculations. 

 

I also have a 5th bearing on the nose, and a BRS between the panel and firewall.  Battery is in the tail, as well as having installed a 650 canopy which includes some 4130 aft.  It all balances "on paper".................

Looks all neat and clean in there.  I'm also interested in what the weight turns out to be.
