260 pounds?

That's a pretty respectable weight -
unless
external oil tank?
It that with accessories like starter and alternator?
Does it have a vacuum pump pad?

This is the toy I'm talking about....

I really like the compact size and the low weight, although the fuel
coonsumption could be a lot better...
The 360 (and 320) is a monstrum and I'm not considering it for my
planned aircraft due to sheer size and weight.

Another engine that looks pretty good is the new Thielert Diesel
engine

...., but its weight and extreme comlexity are less than perfect,
although performance and fuel consumption are very good.
