...will be interested to know there will soon be a dozen new 190s that will fly.
Problem is there are no BMW801 engines around (just a few examples in museums) to put in those planes.
So instead, they will install a Chinese license version of the ASh-82T, a descendant of the WWII Ash-82.
Turns out the dimensions, weight, and power output are a close enough match to be incorporated into the FW190.
This is from the latest edition of the Aircraft Engine Historical Society's journal Torque Meter.
