We can put the rumors to bed, kill the suspicions of alternatives, and end all fears that I would never make up my mind. I have an engine! My O-360-A1A showed up at work today...
It's ready to bolt on the airplane as it is, but I always wanted a silver and red engine, so it will be painted before I bring it home. Also have the starter, alternator, mags and harness (of which I am pulling one for a Plasma III), fuel pump, and carb.
It's not a new engine, but rebuilt with a new ECI crank, and all yellow tagged parts and accessories. Lycoming and ECI combo engine.
Phew...I feel better now.

I didn't buy from a vendor...this is just a regular 'ol Lycoming built by an A&P in Texas. It was going on an RV-9, but the father and son building the 9 were talked out of it, in favor of a 320. It's an engine that fell victim to an unfortunate 7A rollover. Now rebuilt with new and yellow tagged parts. I got a deal on it, couldn't pass it up...
nice engine!
Where are the radiators????
I'm sure you'll enjoy it! Still using the james cowl and plenum?

Chad,
Very sweet!
I will be needing mags for the engine I am buying. Send me an email and let me know what you want for that one you won't be using.
Was this the one that has been on Barnstormers for a few weeks?
Thanks,

I have an SJ cowl, but the jury is still out on the plenum...probably though.
Will do on Wednesday...you have first dibs...Brantel wrote:Chad,

Yes, it was on Barnstormers. I called the guy the day after it was listed, and basically got a first right on it. I bought it two weeks later...after convincing Brit this was the way to go!
NICE looking engine Chad! Thing is, I am still seeing a latent tendancy toward Subaruism here. First the red engine mount. Now a red Engine. Seems to me Jan's first conversions I saw had red engines too.
Hmmmm......
Hmmmm......
