I am about ready to order Van's firewall forward kit, for a 6A, constant speed, fuel injected 180 hp IO-360 clone. Fuel injection will be vertical induction, probably Airflow, unless someone has a good reason to go Precision, because I already have the scooped cowl in hand. I'm in Canada, so under our regs I will have to install a gascolator. I have the Andair fuel selector.
Van's says the closest firewall forward kit is the one for the carbureted 0-360 (the fuel injected kit is designed for the horizontal induction cowl). Van's says they can't say what deletions/modifications/additions I would need for this installation. Surely a vertical induction Airflow install is not an unusual one (although if it is I may have to rethink what I'm proposing)? Anyone have any experience with such an installation and can offer any help as to what deletions/modifications/additions from Van's firewall forward kit I would need for this?
