I'm having a hard time tracking all the experimental Lycoming engine
clones. The most popular being the O-360 series. From what I gather, there's the XP-360 made by Superior, and the Titan made by ECI. Serveral different shops, such as Penn Yan aero, & Mattituck sell and market these engines. Also, now I see there is an experimental IO-540. Are all the experimental lycoming clones from these two manufacturers, or is there another making Lyc. clones? I've noticed the engines from ECI are a bit cheaper, but not by much. Before purchasing one of these engines, I'd like to know if there are others out there. I wish there was a list of all the Lycoming clones out there. I've read the engine section of Kitplanes magazine, but it doesn't seem to completely cover all the clones, just a few select ones. |

As far as I have been able to find out there's only the 2 manufacturers. The different engine builders offer their own slightly different packages using whichever parts including some stuff from lycoming. I just ordered a titan engine from aerosport power in british columbia but it will have a superior case because ECI doesn't make a conical mount. |
