Where at the Mattituck site is Stealth's question answered?

Under the "Experimental" button. That is a strange site that does not
display discrete urls for each page.

Anyhow, they will sell you a brand new O-200 for a mere $17,100. They seem
to be made of all new factory parts, but are not "certified" engines. Are these
the engines that they are putting in the new LSAs?

no this is not the engine. yes it is an O-200 but it is the earlier
design.
apart from one blurb page with a lovely photo of a new LSA engine the
tcm website contains no details.

this O-200 is a NEW engine. what interests me , apart from the price,
is what update mods have been made. the starter looks like a new
lightweight one so the rear case casting may be different.
hopefully experience has improved the corrosion proofing internal to
the engine.

If all that LSA achieves in the long run is to cause Continental to
put this beautiful little engine into production then it will have all
been worth it.

one wonders how much the Formula 1 racing guys will be able to coax
out of new engines :-)
cant wait.
