First time on the forum even though I have been reading it daily and finding it very helpful for over a year...
I am presently looking for a good deal on an engine for my RV10. I have found 2 mid-time engines, but I'm not sure that either will fit Van's motor mounts.
One engine is a O- 540-A2B. The other is a O-540-A1D5.
I called Van's and they advised me that the Lycoming engines had to have a #1 dyno
mounting style. They were kind enough to send me a certified Lycoming aircraft engines model designation breakdown, but I still do not have any idea of the mounting style of either engine.
If any of you have installed either engine or knows if they will fit Van's engine mounts, let me know.
Another subject: My wife and I had the pleasure of attending and and camping with the RV10 at Airventure this year. It was fun to match faces to the writings on this forums. (We had the motor home with the big trailer.)
Airventure truly has something for everyone. I went there for the airplanes; my wife thought it was a craft fair. Thank goodness for the Craft Tent!
Thanks to all who helped make the camp such a success. Next year, my wife, Diane, and I would like to contribute by fixing a Texas Barbeque brisket dinner for one night's dinners.
Thank you for any and all advice,
Tony Dubeansky

Tony,
Looking forward to the BBQ!
Either of those will work. The 540 engines have mount ears that determine exactly what they will mate up with. The ones that you need are Lycoming part number 70456 and have the smaller holes (about 1.25" diameter). These just bolt on and are replaceable if you wind up with the wrong ones. They are available new (expensive) or used (the Rocket builders need the large hole mount ears).

For archival and reference purposes, Tim O. has collected a LOT of info from over the last few years and has it at http://www.myrv10.com/tips/index.html. If you look at the Engine Tips link from that page you'll find info on the mount ears, engine model details and a lot of other stuff.
