I installed a Subaru EA81 in my Avid in 1999. It was my own conversion.

My take on the alternative engine is:
If cost and ease of maintaining the engine is the single most issue, go
certified.
It was your "own conversion". If airframe designer had already done all the work of designing and verifying the
installation, then sold you a set of plans saying "do it this way", would that change the equation?
It just seems that most of the time and expense that I've seen from people on this list can be attributed to the growing
pains of any new design. The people that choose to follow the conservative designs of successful installations seem to
have a much easier and cheaper go of it.
