Hi All,
I’m a complete novice and I’m building a QB7A. Ive got the Finishing Kit and was planning on a new IO360 M1B horizontal Induction engine and VP prop. I’ve been offered a 1000hr IO360 B1E which would save me many $$’s. Assuming the engine is sound, what would i need to consider for this engine to be a good alternative power plant? I understand that they use the same Dynofocal mounts but the B1E has a rear mounted fuel servo instead of a front mounted one. Is it possible or easy to change the sump to a front facing type and could the same servo be used? I have the horizontal intake style cowling so don’t really want to change to a vertical intake.
Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
Jason
