Duke Engine == RC Engine?

[tecknojoe]

Is the 390 duke engine exactly the same / swappable with the rc 390?

Interesting that it lists a different spec for lubrication

FWIW, I would go with a solid 99.9% yes the same, and a yes on swappable, same ECU part number but different map. That is interesting catch with the web pages, they both have -Forced oil lubrication with 2 oil pumps- and -Semi-dry sump- Here is the complete part number listing for all 390's, last letter is the year and I would guess the second to last is a reference for geographical certification #....

And the price is exactly the same for complete motor new, RC or Duke in US and Europe.
