Pic request; IO-360 200hp in a 0-360 cowl

Hi Gents,

When I ordered my finishing kit for my 7, I initially was going to use an 0-360. subsequent to this, I landed a good IO-360 angle valve engine.

Now I would like to know how well this fits into the -7 0-360 vertical induction cowl (old RV6 cowl) I suspect it will be tight, but using this cowl with some minor mods to the induction area, could save me the $1400 for a new cowl.

Would anyone perhaps have pics of this setup?

Regards
Dennis
 
wrong cowl

Check with Van's parts but you'll need the specific cowl for the angle valve. I purchased my project in progress and it had the cowl for a parallel valve 360. I bought a 390 for it. Quickly realized this cowl wasn't going to work. I ordered the angle valve cowl and have it installed now. It is extremely tight even with the "right" cowl.

Keep the boxes for the new cowl and sell the old one. You'll take a beating on it but at least recover some of the money.
