Power is everything in aviation. Give an airplane more to play with and it'll climb better and cruise faster, putting a business meeting within arm's reach or extra vacation time in your pocket. Some of Continental® 360 series engines top the horsepower charts in this class - up to an impressive 225 horsepower in turbocharged and intercooled form. That's a remarkable .625 horsepower per cubic inch.
The Continental IO-360-JB is the FAA-approved factory replacement for the now-discontinued IO-360-J engine, which is best known for powering the Reims FR172 Rocket. This 6-cylinder, fuel-injected engine delivers 210 horsepower and provides a smooth, powerful upgrade for one of Europe’s most recognized STOL-capable utility aircraft.
Air Power, Inc. is the largest worldwide distributor of Continental engines and offers both factory new and rebuilt IO-360-JB engines with warranty, logbook certification, and worldwide shipping support.
âš Note: The oil filler neck supplied on the IO-360-JB may not perfectly align with the cowling door on some Reims FR172 aircraft. Please consult with our technical sales team for compatibility options or field-adjustment recommendations.
Continental manufactures over 1,400 unique engine specs, but only a few hundred are produced regularly. Low-demand variants like the IO-360-JB may not have published prices or lead times readily available.
No problem—Air Power will manage it for you. If pricing is unavailable, we will submit a formal Request for Quote (RFQ) to Continental. The process typically takes one week and provides:
