Hard to know exactly when I will need to order an engine but expecting Lycoming to put prices up again this year, standard IO-390 is currently $54,750 USD. Adding in finish kit, propellor and avionics and still have a lot of money to find.
Hopefully by the time I need it I can afford engine but are there any options?, I've seen talk of an angle valve IO-360 which you might be able to get used and rebuilt, you sure won't get a used IO-390-A3B6
I simply don't have the knowledge or skill set to deviate far from what Vans have documented in the kit.
If someone has a thread on this topic, please advise.
