I think you might find that the C-90 is a better engine if it is allowed to turn a long prop (taildragger or seaplane), but the 0-200 is better turning a shorter prop, but at higher RPM, C-150 for example. Seems like Continental knew what they were doing?

Hey Mister Scout-- From what mysterious source do you find these engine specs?

Half a century spent proving “it is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”

I didn't know it was mysterious :?

You know I have always shared any knowledge I have, the delivery isn't always the best but I share none the less. :)

I haven't looked, but all that and more would be in the TCDS for any engine.

When you don't have a Mr Scout on call, go to the source:

That link has a chart which starts at the O-200. C90 & smaller not shown.
Anyone have a power-setting chart for an O-200 handy? I was curious what horsepower it makes at 2475, where the C-90 is making 95. I'd guess around 80-ish. easy to see why the C90 turns a big prop better. Different cam grind makes the difference I guess.

I think that link shows current production and I think your right about the cam. I looked for a C-90 powered C-120/140, but ended up with a C-85. I don't know if you will find a dyno chart for those old engines or not. Parts are readily available for the 0-200, but I think are getting scarce for the 85 and 90. Also I think the 0-200 has provisions for turning a vacuum pump which I think is rare on the others.
My impression is that the C-90 has more grunt to get off of the ground and climb, but the 0-200 is a little faster in cruise. MTV has flown them both back to back I think. What type aircraft are you putting an engine in?

HP ??

Was told by great source...(Clyde) that 0200 at 2500 is only putting out 75 ponies..... so 90 is way to go. Now I take Clydes word as gospel but was searching for stats which include weight etc.

If one keeps things light, no elect and such the 90 would do as well as 115 or125 considering weight and output. Togather with the right prop..... :D

Sorry, me stupid. Where does a guy get a comparison matrix of all Continental engine models including the old ones?

IF you can keep it light enough is the hard part. you just have to replace some of the heavier parts with those made from unobtanium :lol: Your not going to put electrics in it are you?

Zane,
I don't think you will find dyno charts for those old engines. I've found some, but they were from people that build spec engines and are somewhat suspect in my opinion. If you find a reputable one let us know.
