The ability to install the powerplant of your choice in your airplane project is just one of the advantages of building your own aircraft. Aeronautical engineer Chris Heintz, the designer behind Zenith's line of kit aircraft, specifically engineered the designs to allow for a choice of engine installations, whether "conventional" aircraft engines, newer non-certified aircraft engines, automotive conversions, or one-of-a-kind experimental installations.
There are many different engine choices available for whichever Zenith aircraft model you build. Conventional American-made aircraft engines include the new lightweight 100-hp Continental O-200-D model or the 180-hp Lycoming O-360 engine for the four-seat STOL CH 801 and low-wing CH 640.
Popular new generation light aircraft engines are available with full firewall-forward packages, including the UL Power engine (see above), Rotax 912S as well as the Jabiru series aircraft engines.
Automotive engine conversions are also popular with many builders. Available auto conversions include the six-cylinder Corvair, the Subaru, geared VW installations, as well as the new Honda based Viking engine.
