If money was no object I would put in a new Jabiru 3300. I spent many hours at SNF staring at the one on display. That engine is a work of art.

My number one criteria was HP/Wt. ratio for the engine installed. Getting below 2 Lbs/HP was a noble goal [3 lbs/HP was out of the ball park. Give anything else, you can make a good case for anyone. Just looking at HP alone will not help your bird any fly any better. In the end any engine you use comes down to plane Wt / HP @ cruse RPM. And given enough money you can make any of the engines reliable.[ i.e.. fuel injection and electronic ignition, stronger materials and etc.] For example look at the Jabaru Hp/Wt.
