Hi Michael
firstly how big is your budget?
and what HP are you looking at?
think that regardless of the above the engine would be best running on Jet A1 or diesel due to the fact that avgas wont be around forever or lead based fuels to replace it.
also depending on what power levels you want you will need to work out weather it will be water or aircooled and forced induction or normally aspirated.
i have been involved in two projects and let me tell you to tear up you wallet now!
cheers
Michael
