I need some advice for an engine installation in a RV6A. I can get my hands on a new Barrett IO-390 for a song. I am not sure if this engine will fit on my kit. I understand this engine is identical in size to an IO-360 Angle valve 200hp Lycoming. However Van's states that an angle valve will nor fit in a RV6A but will fit in an RV7A. Yet I have a RV7A cowling which I have been told by Van's does fit on the RV6A fuselage. I am a bit confused here. One obvious difference I can see between the IO-390 and a IO-360 parrallel valve is the position of the prop governor. On the 390 it is located at the front and might interfere with the left air inlet scoop. Any advice from those more expereinced would be fantastic.
