Anyone using a TSIO-360

I just saw a TSIO-360 from a Piper Seneca for sale on Barnstormers. Has anyone looked into putting one of these into an RV? I know of some people putting IO-540s in RVs...

B,
Haven't heard of anyone doing this, but have wondered about it myself, 6 cyl running smoother than 4 cyl and such.
Some sticking points I've thought of:
1) Have to shorten the engine mount (like the Super 8 guys have to do)
2) TCM uses overhead induction (downdraft) vs. Lyc's underside induction (updraft)...is there "room under the hood" for the overhead induction?
3) Read somewhere that TCM and Lycoming delight in doing things exactly opposite one another...one puts throttle linkage on the left, the other puts it on the right sort of thing...good possibility of having to do your own FWF setup.
Would be interested in your thoughts.
