I have the same exat engine from the same place!  They look like twins ... even the same color.
 
YOU ARE GONNA LOVE IT! 
 
I am running dual electronic ignition and it screams!  Not a drop of oil anywhere after 12 hours and run ups!

Thanks to Richard Riley's tip on Saturday, I am now the proud owner of a Lycoming IO-540 engine, built by Performance Engines, rated at 315 HP. 
 
Andy, I guess I can answer your question about whether I had decided on an engine yet. When you asked, I had not decided. But the seller made me an offer I just couldn't refuse, and I had to take it on the spot.
 
I've uploaded photos on my website at http://clik.to/velocity  -> Construction Menu -> Engine.
 
Being a subscriber/reader/contributor to the Reflector just paid off in a huge way for me, and I really owe Richard Riley a great deal for tipping me/us off. If I had not bought the engine, another guy was coming down from Canada 2 days later to look at it (I hope it wasn't one of you guys!) , and Performance Engines was also interested in buying it back, too. So I feel very fortunate. Thanks!!
