Hey Builders,
I am planning my RV project and am wondering if the Lycoming IO-390 is the only engine option for the RV-14.
I've heard the prop governor has to be on the front side of the engine to fit into the cowling. So most IO-360s don't fit.
Has anyone built an RV-14 with a different engine?
Are there other engines at all that do fit quite well?
Has someone used an IO-390 clone? Which one? How much is it?
I am asking because it feels like I am missing something. It's like: "Choose your engine! You have one option: Lycoming IO-390"
Thank you!
Best,
Malte
