Could you find the price including prop?Sun n Fun special is 33.5k or 32k if bundled w/prop.
Van's will not be selling this engine to RV-14 builders at this time. We will be required to have purchased all the kits including firewall forward before becoming eligible to purchase.
That seems somewhat odd to me...it seems they should specify that condition on the flyer if that was the case. What is the source of this information?
I was planning on ordering my engine at this price and I would think as long as we have a serial number we should be good to go.
Van's agreement with Lyc. ever since they started selling their new engines, has been as an OEM customer.
That means they can only buy engines for an aircraft they produce (this protects Lyc. dealers). An aircraft constitutes a complete kit. Once you have purchased a complete kit, you can purchase a new engine at an OEM price that will be cheaper than any dealer will sell it for.
I guess that makes sense now...thanks for the clarification. I hope the price point on the IO-390 remains in that ballpark or even drops while the remaining 14 kits are finalized!

Good question...I'm prepared to buy/order an engine this year at Oshkosh, but I'm not sure I want the whole firewall forward package. Maybe Scott can clarify what qualifies as a "complete kit"?According to the above, you also have to buy the f/w forward kit as well? What if you wanted to source those parts elsewhere?
