George, Where did you see that price for a NEW O-360? Vans lists the O-360 (180 HP) at $23,925.00 new, and you have to have bought a kit from them to get that price! That is a difference of $4,500.00 bucks people might want to know. Bill Jepson Rotary10-RV

This is what I paid for my O-360A1A (180HP) Textron Lycoming $9,500
For entire firewall forward including constant speed prop and all required accessories, about $14,500
I bought an O-360A1A (firewall fwd) with 700hours since major (about 2600 total).
I paid $2500 for engine with extra parts and sold the exhaust, wet vacuum pump, generator (yes a generator), two magnetos, feathering prop and prop governor (came off a Piper Apache twin with a 180hp conversion). I ended up having about $1500 into the engine after I got rid of all the stuff. I did not have to rebuild it but there was a suspected prop strike with the engine shut down (long story), but I had it checked out. The crank was fine, but decided to overall it why it was open.
Overhauled O-360A1A new EVERYTHING required/recommended by Lycoming during overhaul, valves, pistons, rings, etc & (overhauled cylinders and Carb) Crank inspected checked out, stress relieved and re-cad plated.
Core Cost of Lycoming O-360A1A core $1,500
Cost to Overhaul above Lycoming per above $8,000
Purchased overhauled used Hartzell HC-C2YK constant speed prop $2,500
Purchased yellow tagged Prop Gov Woodward 201105 $300
Purchased New ND alternator and brackets $225
Purchased new Custom 4 into 1 exhaust to my specs w/ heat muff $700**
Purchased new SkyTec starter (eBay special) $250
Purchased used Stewart Warner oil cooler and overhauled at POC, $250
Purchase Misc parts, throttle, mixture, prop controls, Vans airbox, brackets $250
Purchase dual electronic ignition, est. approx price $2000
Freebie, almost new mechanical pump & spin on oil filter adapter $0
TOTAL
Just for the engine with all the accessories except carb, taken out $9,500.
Approx price $ 14,500 for Zero time O-360A1A with new accessories and dual electronic ignition, constant speed prop.
Now for autoengines:
I would like to see an auto engine do better than that. What does a scrambled Egg sell his Subaru engine for? OR PowerSport Rotary cost?
I think a Egg goes for close to $30,000.00
![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
You can by a whole Subaru Outback or Forester for less than that. That is crazy money. Plus you have to go thru the monkey motions of adding extra batteries, fuel pumps (including a $400 6-port fuel selector) and plumb all that plus the radiator stuff. That does not even include an expensive electric (sucks) prop, which cost another $8,500. What happened to cheap power? Also if you have a special Egg part or Real-World-Solution rotary engine part/accessory, only Egg or RWS can sell it to you. You are stuck with their price, if they are still in business.
I can get Lycoming parts (pistons, cylinders, valves, cranks, cases,..) and accessories (Props, governors, ignitions, fuel pump, oil coolers, etc..) from 1000's of retailers, shops and maintenance facilities.
There are 3 manufactures of "Lycoming" engines. For Lycoming parts and accessories there are: 4 manufactures of electronic ignitions, 2 manufactures of fuel injection, 5 manufactures of hydraulic constant speed props (and at least 5 fixed pitch prop makers), 4 manufactures of light wt. starters, 4 manufactures of exhaust (recommend Aircraft Exhaust below) and the list goes on and on.
I hope that answers your question, for those who want the cheaper, easier to install and more parts availability of Lycoming power. You get what you pay for.
Cheers George

Highly recommend them. They can make custom exhaust (which cost $1200 normally but got mine by special intro purchase a few years ago). They also have stock off the shelf RV exhaust systems and the best cabin heat system around. They have standard cross-over exhaust also for much less than the custom exhaust. Call them before you buy and exhaust. Tell them RV-7, 4-into-1 George sent you. (I have no interest in the company except being a very happy customer who appreciates quality work.)
