I don't know the difference between all the variants of the IO-360, parallel valve.  But, you can read about it here if you haven't = already.

 

For starters I do know a few things.

 

Get a forward facing sump for sure.  You can bolt on a Superior or other brand cold air = sump on just about any of the 360's.  This will allow you to make a much tighter cowling.  A rear facing sump is out of the question as your = nose gear is directly behind the sump. (might fit with the long engine = mount?  I doubt it) But, I wouldn't let the "stock" configuration = make me pass up a good deal on an engine.

 

In my opinion, I would get a forward mounted prop governor.  The back of = the engine is busy enough I think, but I have the short engine = mount..

 

Compression ratio will depend on what you want to accomplish.  If you want to = run MoGas for example, need to keep it rather low.  = 8.7:1 and lower I think?

 

It seems many of the other variants relate to what type of mag setup.  = I have dual impulse coupled Slick mags.  But, this is 2013 now, and if I = was starting over I would have some sort of electronic ignition on one or both = sides.  So again, the variant doesn't really matter as you would probably not = use mags anyway.

 

So in summary, I would buy whatever is less expensive to get you the = compression ratio you want, and the forward prop governor. Then, scrap the rest of = it and build it with modern aftermarket accessories. (Ignition, Cold air sump, = Fuel servo, etc)  So the actual "stock" variant isn't that important.  Financially this may not make sense if your buying a = new complete engine kit, rather than just the core parts.  Maybe get = some quotes from some of the build shops and only buy what you need, = rather than paying for a sump and mags you don't want.  Barrett comes to = mind :)
