I cannot beleive the Chinese would bother to copy the M14P engine when they already have built the 400 HP H6K HUOSAI.
Fred Ihlenberg had the first one in North America in his CJ.
I am not sure where his airplane ended up.
I flew one in my CJ for several months (several CJ pilots tried my airplane), Then the engine was sold to Richard Hess in Atlanta,
he had agreed to demo the engine for the Chinese to test the market for further production.
The all metal JL2 3 blade prop was developed for this engine with the splined hub. ( subsequently I had them build the JL2B with the flanged hub to fit the M14P)
In my opinion the H6K was superior to the M14, much smoother running
Perhaps Richard has info on further production.
