Yes, it should work fine. Same as the IO-360-A1A, but with a plugged crankshaft (FP prop as installed in a musketeer.)

Its not too difficult to convert FP to CS (google for the Lyc SB) - as long as the basic engine is capable, from Osxuser's post it seems this one will be. You will have to buy a governor drive adapter, a pipe and a bung or two.
Somewhere on the Lyc website is a description of what all the letters mean. There used to be a description sent out in the kit instruction book - if you don't have one find a builder nearby who has been building for several years.

you can also go to faa.gov and pull all the AD's on the engine.

Engine Decoder
The Finish Kit portion of my plans has an engine chart (Chapter 11).
The IO-360-A2B decodes as:
200 hp @ 2700 rpm
100/100LL
8.70:1 compression
Bendix fuel injection, tuned induction
Fixed pitch
1200 series impulse magnetos
I can't tell from the chart whether or not the crank is hollow/solid...so don't know if it can be converted to constant speed.

IO-360-A2B for RV 8A
Thanks for all your help. I have been looking on e-bay for the rite engine for the RV8A I am building and found this one. I like the option to go C/S so I don't know if this is it. Thanks again.
