I installed an AFP FM-150 on my RV-8. I converted an IVO-360 engine, and chose the Superior horizontal cold air sump.
I used a K&N cone filter with an aftermarket automotive filter housing, perhaps like Don had in mind. You can see a few pics and the part numbers on my link below.
If I had selected one of Don's servos with the air inlet that accepts a hose, I could have used an adapter hose. I wouldn't have needed to make the flange mount-to-hose adapter. I think the FM-150 is the only one with a flanged inlet?
If using a vertical sump with adapter elbow, perhaps the cone filter & housing will fit.
I laid up the fiberglass inlet scoop fairing over modeling clay and attached it to the lower cowl with 6 screws. I remove the scoop to ease lower cowl removal, and it gives a little access to the front of the engine. I just experienced the Sky-Tec starter solenoid fail at Vernonia Ore (first trip with wife). I was able to reach in thru the scoop access hole and whack the solenoid enough to get one more start and head for home...
