Finsihing kit and engine choice

[thilokind]

Dear fellow builders,

I'm ready to order the finishing kit for the RV8 a. For the finishing kit Van's requires type of engine and propeller. Unfortumately, I have not completely made up my mind on that. I would like to go with a Lycoming IO360 (or clone) with 180 HP and a FP prop (preferrably 3 blade).
Van's offers the YIO-360-M1B, which is obviously for a CS prop. Would that engine be a good choice? Any alternatives? I really appreciate your advice.

Thanks

Thilo

engine choices

I went with an ECI with fuel injection and one electronic ignition set op for fixed pitch. You can specify what you want.
