Just placed and order for my finishing kit from Vans. I got and e-mail back stating an IO-320 engine on a RV7A is tricky to accommodate. They said I have two options, use the O-360 mount & cowl. With a wood prop (Catto) but that this would place the empty CQ further aft. the second option is use the O-320 mt. and cowl, and change the scoop, they also recommened adding a harmonic balancer for weight up front. Just wonder what combinations are being used and what is the best way to go.
I believe the engine I have is a O-320 that has been fitted with Bendix FI and higher compression pistons. Is there a way to tell if it is a true IO-320? It is a O time rebuilt and the log book states for experimental use only. Thanks for any help.
