Looking at used/rebuilt/rebuildable aircraft power plants, it seems like the Continental O-470 is one of the most affordable for upfront cost, often costing less than O-200/O-235s that seem to be the staples of the homebuilt market.

Besides higher maintenance and operations costs associated with 6 cylinders over 4, why are these so much cheaper out the gate? What air frames would work well with of this type of engine?

They sound pretty good too!
