Default Do RV's use the same cowl?

RV6 & RV7s use the same cowl? How about the RV9?

Yes to both questions...with a qualifier...
An RV-7 using an O-320 uses a slightly lengthened cowl and the RV-9 using an O-235 uses the same lengthened cowl. This is because of a slightly longer engine mount for C.G. adjustment with the lighter engines
