Engine, propeller and firewal forward

The engine and propeller was ordered first week of february. I did go for the Thunderbolt YIO-390-EXP119. This is the new engine configuration from Vans. See this link. I decided to go for PMAG ignition and selected to get it painted in red. I got an confirmation from Lycoming on 12th february. Estimated lead time is 6 months now. That means sometime around mid August - but it will be shipped via Vans. So I don't expect delivery before October/November, and that fits well.

Because I already have the finish kit, I had to order an upgrade kit and that is already received as part of the firewall forward kit.

The propeller is the standard Hartzell HC-M2YR-1BFP/F7497 74".

The firewall forward, together with the finish kit upgrade to EXP119, arrived yesterday. Many parts was  backordered, but I did also delete the exhaust system, spinner parts and the new lower cowling myself. The reason was mostly to save freight. They will be shipped together with the engine and propeller. In addition I've ordered all the hoses from Aircrafty Specialty, so those were also deleted from the kit order. Also the battery (will use EarthX) and alternator (will use B&C) were deleted.

All the firewall forward and finish kit upgrade parts.
