Hey Guys…
What other versions of the IO 540 have been successfully installed in the 10?
Has anyone installed versions other than the IO 540 D4A5?
If so please advise…
I am about 6 months out until I need a power plant…
Thanks!!!

I installed a C4B5, as have many others. This engine was installed on Piper Aztec's and perhaps some other Piper's, but I don't know for sure about that. The engine mount ears from the Aztec will not fit the Van's engine mount, but the correct ears are available.
The C4B5 was rated at 250 HP on the Aztec by limiting max RPM to 2575. Lycoming says that it is identical to the D4A5 otherwise, so can be operated at 260HP/2700 RPM on the RV-10.

I am using an IO-540 V4A5. It came out of a 2001 Maule. The fuel servo is horizontal and more forward of the D4A5 if you use an elbow to convert it to horizontal induction. It also rides higher and tighter to the engine. This has been a challenge fitting the cowl and snorkel which require major surgery and fabrication but I am happy with the results so far. Its not flying yet so I have no idea how my home brew ram air system is going to work.
