Off the top of my head there's:
Great Plains - http://www.greatplainsas.com/
Aeroconversion - http://www.aeroconversions.com
Revmaster - http://www.revmasteraviation.com
Better Half VW - http://www.betterhalfvw.com/ (2 cyl)

There's also HAPI and Mosler, but I'm not sure if either of them is still in
business.

As I said on another thread, I have no experience with any of them *yet*
(but will soon).
If it's any indication, my insurance company would only write a policy for
Great Plains, Aeroconversion or Revmaster engines.

Hi John
I think you are in Australia. (It's always helpful to include your location
in postings.)

A couple of suppliers in Australia a
VW Engine Cent http://www.vw-engines.com/main.htm
Aeropower: http://www.arach.net.au/~munks/AEmenu.htm
(certified VW-derivative aero engines - some very useful info here)

and don't forget Jabiru!

Nope. They're gone.
