Suprise, you new engine (XIO-360-M1B) comes with a forward horizontal induction oil sump.
We did a test fit today, and can see that our current cowl with the external scoop on the lower cowl, does not really fit any longer.
We have two options
Option 1: Get the new "horizontal induction" cowl, new throttle, mixture, and prop cables. Re-route the engine control cables through the firewall. Paint the new cowl to match in paint.
Option 2: Take the "vertical induction sump" of our old motor with the old induction tubes and put on the new motor.
Has anyone done this retrofit?
Anything else to look out for?
What increases in performance will be see with the horizontal induction vs the vertical induction?
