Slightly Modified VW engines with a REDRIVE of about 2.2:1 would be good. This would give you a Prop RPM of about 1363 RPM at engine RPM of 3000.
Dwight,

Where would one get a reduction drive like the one you mention? Great Plains has three ratios listed on their web site: Available in 3 ratios: 1.29 to 1, 1.6 to 1, and 2.0 to 1. Are there other companies making redrives for VW engines?

Regards,
