We purchased
a new
AeroSportPower IO-360 B1B
engine. It was shipped on schedule via Roadway and just barely fit into
the van.
It weighs
200+ lbs but two of us were able to pull it from the Van and get it down
to the garage floor.

The
engine was nicely packed and sturdily attached to the palette.
Accessories (oil filler neck and dipstick, spark plugs, manuals, air flow
controller and hardware) were in separate boxes.
Underneath
the engine about a pint of oil had collected. We were worried that there
was something wrong but a quick phone call to Aerosport assured us that it was
just the preservative oil dripping off of the engine.

Until you see one brand new (and see the hole in your checking
account), you don't really notice how beautiful they are (the fire engine red
color helps the appearance a bit too).
This is a
IO-360 B1B engine which means it is the low compression 180hp model with fuel
injection. This is a close-up of the fuel distributor (spider) and purge
valve.
The
accessory case. It came as dual magneto setup but we soon replace the
right mag (far left in this picture) with an electronic ignition system from
Lightspeed.
