Hi builders,

 

 I could use a little help on engines: 

 

 I have started looking for a new engine an I must admit I have sticker shock. As near as I can tell a new IO 360 M1B type engine from any of the major experimental builder will cost 22-29K depending on options. SO is there another way. I was hoping for something more like 18K which is what it was when I first started doing my project. Since I have the finishing kit for horizontal induction, I will need to go that way or change the lower cowl. I'm afraid this may have limited my options. (done before realizing the issue) 

 ALso a few questions:     ECI      solid tappets vs Superior      rollor tappets, is this worth $2K?   
Dual      Slicks vs one Slick and one Pmag      $500 + or - a little, thoughts?   
Horioztal induction, will I save money      by going vertical, it seems if I do change the cowl I will save 1K on the      engine, but have to spend $500 on a new lower cowl    

Currently I am thiking of an ECI engine from Aerosport but that will come in a 23K to 24K and is solid lifters. Any thoughts or help is appreciated.

Try Aeroengines of Winchester,Va. Their phone number is 540-678-1661 and ask for Tom. Their prices

 and work are very good.

 Cheers,

 Craig

In 2008 there should be no engine manfacturers selling anything but roller lifters... Geez...

No IO-360 uses solid lifters. I'm sure you meant hydraulic lifters with 

flat faces, as opposed to roller tip lifters that Lyc introduced a few 

years ago. There is no power benefit from Pmag so why spend the money?

Re new engine, I would definatly shop for good used  low time. They are out there. at least O-320's are. I looked at prices for new  and rebuilt/OH, and just too much money. I eventualy found a very low time used  just 3 hr drive from home and am coming up on 2 yrs, very good engine. Charles  Heathco
