Well, the big check I wrote at Oshkosh last year is now officially a part of my airplane. Thanks to Steve (Tan Hat), Michelle, Jon, and Ron for the help.

CJ nailed it. Mattituck TMX-IO360. Parallel valve 360, vertical induction, Precision fuel injection, one slick mag, one lightspeed ignition with a crank sensor.

Oh, IO!
EIEIO!
Without the throttle body installed I wasn't sure if it was injected or not.
Cool!
