Latest Friendly Sources for ECI or Superior 360 Kits
Anyone have a reputable distributor of the ECI or Superior kits (outside Texas) they'd recommend?
Thanks!

Since no one else has chimed in, I bought my IO-370 directly from ECI Titan. James Ball is who to talk to. jball@eci.aero
It hasn't flown yet, but I was pleased with the transaction and their customer service.
Tell 'em Vince Frazier sent you. If that doesn't work, tell 'em Team Aerodynamix sent you.
BTW, they are still a 100% U.S.A. company if that matters to anyone. It did to me.

Hello Kevin, and others who took the time to write. (Thank you!)
Looks like ECI/Titan is the only business thriving or impacting the RV world these days. No doubt ECI/Titan is doing great things. And JB has been very helpful on the phone the times I've called recently and in the past. I will give you a call, Kevin.
But please understand, I'm looking for a kit engine. I have two kids in college and cracked engine case. I really am not looking to pay you to do something I'm qualified to do myself. And then there's the state sales tax issue. Still need a friendly (non-Texas) distributor recommendation.
Will give you a call today.
Thanks!

When I last checked several (many?) years ago the best ECI engine kit deal (by a large margin) came from AERO, and it seemed all of the other kit distributors basically wanted to assemble the engine for you and never really discounted the "kit only" price.
Unfortunately AERO is no longer an ECI distributor.
I ended up buying an O-360 as a yellow tagged parts collection from a member of my old EAA chapter.
