IO-390 current price and delivery

[larryj]

What is the current price for a new IO-390 from Lycoming and what is the current lead time? What is the price and lead time difference between factory Lycoming and Thinderbolt?
Reason for asking is that I have a new-in-box IO-390-C3B6 August 2025 production engine that I have decided to sell. It has not been removed from the crate. I was going to STC this engine for our Husky A1-C and have decided not to pursue the project.
Thanks for all pertinent info,
Larry

From the Kit Planes review my Marc Cook in October, 2020. What a difference a mere 6 years makes. Almost doubled in 6 years. I wish I had invested in IO-390s.

"So, the engines: From Van’s, a basic IO-390 costs $34,500. The IO-390- EXP119 is $40,200. And while the final prices have not been set, it’s likely the FWF package for the EXP will be about $500 more than for the basic 390."

When I ordered my Thunderbolt 390 in April 2023, it was $57,400. Now it's $81,925.

Hey that red paint costs a lot of money! I bet it has gold specs in it!

The dual-PMAG'd YIO-390-EXP119 Thunderbolt that I bought thru Van's on 6/29/2021 for my (wonderful) RV-14A, cost $46,714
