I wish I took more photos of this engine. Here, you can see their extension for the oil sump. Interesting, eh?
Also, you want to look closely at the cylinder barrel fins. Notice that they are tapered. The tech rep told me that most of the cooling is done at the cylinder head and little heat transfer occurs at the barrel, so they removed cooling fin material to help lighten up the cylinders.
They also had a B&C starter installed.

O-200 oil presure sender
Here's a photo of the TCM display O-200 at last year's AirVenture. There are a couple of interesting changes that I was a little surprised to see.
First, they installed an El Reno filter. Since they no longer needed the clunky oil screen they could now remove the oil screen housing.
They made a cover plate and welded in a couple of bosses so they could install the oil temp and the oil pressure probe. Next time I have my engine off I'm going to make a similar setup.
The red cap covers the tach drive and the round black thing is a B&C alternator.
