Horizontal induction IO540 RV10

Has anyone out there fitted a horizontal induction engine to an RV10, I have built and fly a 7 with vertical induction, we have a motor available for my RV10 build but it is a Lycoming IO540 G1C5 engine.
This has angle valves, so a baffle mod is required and horizontal induction so the air filter box solution will be different.

So I am looking for some guidance and to find out if anyone has fitted a horizontal induction engine and what the challenges are for installation, as well as flying experiences.

So any help is welcome at this stage.

IIRC, the Angle valve engine is, what, 70lbs heavier than the parallel valve?

I have a C4B5 that's torn down for overhaul (case already overhauled) I'd like to sell as a core.

I built the horizontal induction first, then modified the cowl. I have been flying for two years.

I have some pics of the process, let me know if you need them.

I think the angle valve engine has a different profile at thecyl heads and is slightly wider as well which will probably require modifications to the cowling also.

Matt - feel free to PM me details about the core you have for sale
