Last year I installed a Lyc TNIO-390 in a Legacy FG and
discovered that Lancair did not have a baffle kit for it. Externally the
engine is basically an angle valve 360 so I went over to Van's and got their
baffle kit for that engine, for a mere $250. I had to cut it down for the
lower cowling and redo some of the front pieces to match the Legacy but it was
not difficult and was accomplished with simple hand tools. I wouldn't
hesitate to recommend that as a good option for anyone needing
baffling. Too bad Van doesn't support the Continental 550. If
anyone's interested in seeing the finished installation let me know and I'll
forward a couple pictures.
