  You might want to check out what engine suppliers such as Performance
  engines would charge for a Blueprinted 1st run overhauled IO-550. I think
  you just might be pleasantly surprised. If you can acquire a run out to
  trade in it may even be better.
  
  If you were to ask people that have obtained their engines from Performance
  Engines if they wished they had bought a new one from Continental they would
  say no.
  
  The original Legacy had, I think, a turbocharged Lycoming IO-360. While most
  people thought that was OK, it wasn't great. That is one reason Lancair
  upgraded the engine.

[I could be mistaken, but if memory serves I believe the original engine that 
was planned for the Legacy was the Continental IO360, not the Lycoming.  It 
didn't take long for folks to figure out that the IO550 would fit up front 
just fine, and that has pretty much become the engine of choice.   Lots of 
water under the bridge since those days, but that's kind of how I remember it.
