Steve Barnard did it back in the 1990s or so, tight fit in the cowl and cooling issues caused him to rework the cowl quite a bit.
As I recall, the design is now sold by James.

Thank you. Me and an A&P buddy have a future in an RV6A, soon! We are selling our Stinson 108 and going, Faaaaster.
We are located in Dayton, OH. Pretty excited to become an RV owner.

The IO360 is a FAA certified motor at 200hp. Does this help clarify?
Thank you.

Talk to Lycon in Visalia California. I am going to take the stock 0-360 and put 10:1 pistons and port/polish. Won?t be 200hp but close and wihout having to rework anything else.
Just a thought
