Hi folks:
After exchanging emails with James Ball at Continental I am seriously considering swapping out the O-360-A1A on my RV-8A with the standard compression X370. I am wondering if anyone has done this swap?
I found a few threads on VAF that discuss a ground up build with a X370 but none that have details of a in-place swap.
Besides the baffles, which seem like a minor issue, will everything else generally work without modification?
Prop governor
Throttle, mixture cables to the carb
Probes for EGT, CHT
Temperature and pressure sensors for oil, fuel flow, MP
Thank you.
