Will 914 rotax fit a smooth Cowl kf5

Anything can be done.. The 914 on the Series 5 Smooth cowling would be a challenge at best. The S5 smooth cowling requires the intake manifolds to swap sides.. Not something you can easily do on the 914.

The Series 7 FWF will work on the 5 and the 914 fits great.

It appears you have the Series 7 cowlings in the picture..

Wow! Tight fit for sure. Reminds me of my buddies Pitts.

Another option if you are set on a 914 is to go fuel injected. It adds economy and performance while eliminating the traditional manifold that goes to the carbs. Probably cheaper than a new FWF set up.
