If you are asking about parallel valve, 180 HP, IO-360's the answer is yes.

I don't know about if the 200 hp IO-360's angle valve engines come witih conical mounts.

No angle valves that I am aware of. If for experimental you could use a conical case on an angle valve engine and you would be all set. 180HP and 200HP cases are the same except for piston oil cooling jets which are easy to add to the 180Hp setup.
Good Luck,

I have an RV-4 project that came with a conical mount.
I want to put an IO-360 on it. I'm leaning toward a 180hp.
So sounds like I'm looking for a parallel valve IO-360.
So anyone know what the model numbers are for the conical mount ones?

Default conical mounts

The reference for this is Lycoming publication SSP-108. I do not find any IO parallel valve 360's listed with conical mounts. The carburetor 0 360's with conical mount are 0-360-C1F, C1G, C2A, C2B,C2C,C2D,C4F,C4P,D1A,D2A,D2B. For a homebuilt it shpould be possible to convert any of these to fuel injection. If you are overhauling any of the crankcase companys can convert a dynafocal case to conical or vice versa. It would appear to be simpler to simply buy or build a dynafocal engine ,mount.

Default conical mount

The AEIO-360-H1B and AEIO-360-H1A as used in the Bellanca/American Champion Decathalon are conical mount engines. The AE series engines are VERY expensive.

So if you want fuel injection just put on an Airflow Performance system. Don

well if money was not a factor, I would go with a AFP fuel injection system.
I put one on my Long-EZ when he first started selling them to the EXP aircraft market in the early 90s. It worked great. However, the price has has gone up about 4-fold.

My plan is to find a run-out IO-360 with the Bendix fuel injection and overhaul it. I was not aware you can have the case modified. That is good news because I can now concentrate on just finding a good deal on a IO-360 and if happens to be a Dynafocal mount, just have the case modified.
