Looking for insight on when would be a good time to purchase the engine? Looking to delay as much as possible but lately everything seems to be coming together and wonder if I should be getting it soon with the delay in ultimately receiving it.
Thanks!

If I recall correctly most engine builders, including Lycoming/Vans
have 1-3 month lead times for ordering an engine. You should contact
your short list of builders for lead times and current quotes to get
your timing right.

I just took delivery of my Lycoming ...through Vans. I don't think they're going to be cheaper in the future so I bought mine after Sun-n-fun. It's sealed in a heavy plastic bag with dessicant in it .... so there's not much going to happen while it waits for you to get to the 'needing' part.

I've been struggling with the same decision. Especially since Van's/Lycoming announced their most recent sale. I don't need it until the spring, but the debate is whether or not the economy will cause the price to be higher or lower next spring.

I went ahead and pulled the string weeks ago but I was about ready.
My 2 cents... I don't think availability will be a problem in the near
or not so near future. When you lay down the cash, it's on it's way.
That's been my experience with everything so far (except the latest
avionics). When big ticket items are on sale, there's inventory or
excess production capacity behind it and neither is easy to fix.
Can't opine regarding pricing. But you do need some space to store the
thing.
Just got back from Osh - oil prices up? There were not signs of it
there.... "Smoke On" baby!
