From what's below you may be able to make it work but it would be a lot of "extra" work! I have fitted a converted B1E to my 7A=2C the engine originally came from a Lancair. It now has a forward facing fuel servo=2C the same one that was o riginally fitted at the back. It appears that the sump was modified with a new internal tube for the forward facing servo and a new mounting pad welde d to the sump. I contacted Vans about the installation and they replied that to their know ledge a B1E had never been fitted to an rv before. It has been now!! The only problems I have had are the Vetterman exhaust from Vans did not fi t=2C I ended up modifying it and it now clears the induction tube and nose gear socket on the engine mount. I did contact Larry Vetterman about the ex haust and he did offer to manufacture a new one to fit=2C I chose to modify mine but would next time have Larry manufacture a new one for me. The fibe rglass induction system from Vans also would not work and I have manufactur ed a new one using Scat tubing. I believe on some IO 360 B1E's there was a 45 degree bend that was fitted t o the sump / fuel servo=2C After looking at this option i think it would cl ear the engine mount and would need no modifications to the induction. If you would like some pics let me know and I'll send them through.
