Default Experimental Lycoming engine clones

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.
