Had a great time as Osh last week, one of my goals was to pick and engine supplier. I am a lot smarter on the topic vs a week ago buts still pretty ignorant overall and would greatly appreciate the input of others.
I really want to run Mogas, I plan on stock 8.5 compression, electronic ignition and will be plumbing the fuel system with a return line to accept electronic fuel injection. A Lycoming thru Van's is a viable alternative but would require modifications along with pulling parts and selling (mags, fuel injection system etc.) as they will not customize.
Continental seems very open for building with electronic ignition and electronic fuel injection (supplied by others)
I would appreciate the comments on others of the pros\cons of using a Lycoming IO540 vs. Contiental Titan IO540 as I understand there are some differences in cylinders and some components are offered in Magnesium for weight reduction (accy cover) and intake manifold\sump.
Thanks
