Engine purchased!

The engine decisions are over. I purchased a mid-time Lycoming O-320-D2J. Once the deal is complete and I have the engine, I'll post more details.

I took long hard looks at alternative engines. Primarily the Subaru by Jan Egenfellner, the new 5100 from Jabiru and even considered a rotary conversion. I think in the end I wanted a known quantity... and I definatly spent less money on my Lycoming that I would have on any of these.
