--> RV7-List message posted by: "Daniel Storer" <dstorer@OKWiFi.com>

I would like to build my own engine for my 7A.  I'm looking at an IO-360 180
hp with a CS prop.  I've been told the 200 hp weighs 30-40 lbs more and cost
significantly more for the extra 20 hp, so I can't justify it.

Has anyone found a good kit engine that they have assembled, and if so who,
how much and what was your experience?

Regards,

Dan S.

Dan,

Haven't done this, but hear good things.
Checkout Superior's XP-360 build options.

Dan,
There was just an article in last months "Kitplanes" about  Superior's 
IO-360 engine.  You can buy the kit or go to their factory in Dallas and 
build an engine under their supervision.  Hope that helps.
