From: rikvincent@aol.com Mine is a B1E which is also a rear draft. I changed the sump to a down draft so I could use all the standard stuff, air intake cable mounts ect. -----Original Message----- From: Charlie England Sent: Sun, 18 Nov 2007 5:21 pm Subject: RV7-List: O-360 A1-G6 on a -6 or -7?? ? Has anyone successfully used an O-360 A1-G6 in its stock form on a -6 or-7? This engine has a horizontal carb mounted to the back side (not bottom) of the sump. The carb is about 7" long, so it will almost touch the firewall. An additional recess, similar to the governor recess, would be required to get air to the carb.? ? Thanks,? ?

I don't have my finish kit yet. Do you know if the motor mount tube that ties the tops of the two gear towers (-7 tail dragger) interferes with the carb?I talked to Van's tech help today & they said no problem on dishing the lower firewall between the angles, but they didn't say whether the mount cross-tube would hit the carb in its stock position. Assuming that I change the sump & intake tubes, will I have to change the oil pickup tube also? Thanks, rikvincent@aol.com wrote: > Mine is a B1E which is also a rear draft.
