Of interest is the Mazda powered T-51D Mustang that had a fatal crash in NZ recently. The problem appears to be engine related. Photos of the crash scene make it look like the pilot should have simply walked away from it. The aircraft fuselage looks intact, and resting in a flat, level attitude.

The Mazda engine is not supported, nor is it recommended by the Titan Aircraft Company.

The current engine of choice is the LS3 6.2 V8. While they still support the Honda V6, and Suzuki V6.
