I am not so sure about the wasp 28. People reported that it was harder to tune and not much faster that tne wasp 26. There are lots of .28s these days. One from the new LST or MGT would be nice. You can get a good used K4.6 for about 150 too.

SH .28 is NOT a good motor. save your money there.
I say get a Picco .27 they are like $150 new and are really decent. Otherwise the Mach.28 is another good choice if it's anything like the mach.26...great budget motor that really moves, tunes well and last a long time. Maybe look for something used? I just sold my Eb mods Novarossi P5 ($350) for $150

The mach 28 is said to be a good motor and is roto start compatable. The SH 28 has been said to have bad pull starts that break and are hard to find replacements for.

Gabe.... FYI, the mach 28 IS a SH .28..... they are the same thing. Its a rebage.
Balt71 has a mach .28 in his mgt and its a very strong motor runs well and and always starts. He also has a mach .26, He said he actully prefered the .26 it has better top end --Then follow the rules! haha!-- -Tune

Ive heard good things about it but i have NO personal experince with it....
I run a XTM 24/7 pro . Its a version of the mach .26. It has alittle more rpm and is ported slightly differnt . I absolutly love these engines. Ive dont think ive ever gotten less that 6 gallons out of one. They are realtivly cheap, very durable, holds a tune,easy too tune powerhouses. --Then follow the rules! haha!-- -Tune

I have a SH .28 that I used to run in a LST, and ran it in my LSP for 2 months, it is now my back up engine though.
It runs great, lots of power with 30%, but it liked to run in the 250* range. I was using a JP-2 for top end and a 14t clutch bell (13t is stock) and it still had killer low end in the LSP. The only reason I quit running it, was it sucked the fuel down fast and glow plugs didnt last to long compaired to my P5  P.S. Rocco's right, Mach's are made by SH  BTW, stay away from the wasp 28!

yeah I don't know anything about the mach.28,. all i know is the mach.26's seemed like a really good bargain.
Sorry for the crap info. I have just seen way to many broken conrods in SH.28's for me to accept that they are good motors. Who on here has broken a conrod in a SH.28? multiple people just on this board alone.
