The engine has not been mounted as yet. I've seen several makes of adapters (Casper Labs, B&C, ECI) which all appear es sentially the same. Is there a reason to choose one over the others, other than price? The real question is - Is there a need for a spacer and if so, what thickness? The engine is a parallel valve IO-360 in an RV-6 dynafocal mount. Van's says most RV's need the 1 =BD inch spacer. Is that true here? Thanks.

The filter just clears the motor mount tube. Got one on my new 6, also. There are inches available between there and the firewall so a spacer won't hurt, but I don't think it's necessary.
