Matt,
In response to your comment on removing the nameplate on your Lycoming 
engine, your local FSDO is incorrect. I attended an FAA seminar at Oshkosh on 
registering your homebuilt and the new guideline is not to remove the 
nameplate, even though the engine had been modified. This is a change in the 
FAA policy and the reason makes sense from a safety standpoint. If the 
nameplate and serial number are removed there is no way to to determine if 
any safety related AD's apply to the engine. Even though the AD's are not 
required on a non-approved engine, they may be serious enough to not ignore. 
If there is no nameplate on the engine who can tell if any AD's are 
recommended?
