I noticed in another post that the Continental O-200 is back in new
manufacture again.




I was the OP, and now see that I can't seem find any specs. They have a
phone number posted for additional information on each engine/series and
I
do plan to follow up.

I thank you for passing on the info.
best news since christmas.

I gave them a call today at the number shown on their web site by clicking
through to http://tcmlink.com/engines/index.cfm?lsa=yes and learned that:

1) The "old" O-200 is still in production and still available new.

2) The new engine is expected to be called IO-200, and
Planned to be available some time next year
Planned to be certified for LSA under FAR Part 33
Has a target weight under 200 pounds
Has a terget TBO of 2000 hours
Other improvements should include crossflow heads,
revised oil sump, and electronic ignition.


Sounds like the cylinders are similar to the IO-240 and the 6-cylinder
IO-360, which are cross-flow engines. Which bore?
I'm in agreement with you that an engine with these numbers is a
winner, except that what with the high prices of the experimental
IO-240 and the experimental O-200, one would expect the IO-200 to bear
a hefty price-tag.
