I have been monitoring the builder site for a little over a year while 
working on 360 carbon fiber fast build kit. The site has been invaluable in 
answering many of my unasked questions and even better at informing me of 
things that I was too stupid to ask. Now I finally have a question that needs 
an answer. My choice for an engine has always been a used IO 360 parallel 
valve version which I hope to rebuild. A year of searching the usual places 
such as: White, Wentworth, etc.; has resulted in no engine and little hope of 
finding one for a reasonable price. While the Lancair price is very 
attractive for a new engine, it is still too much. Can the angle valve 
version be installed as a substitute? This version is readily available and 
is less expensive than the parallel version (on the used market). I called 
Lancair and was told that the angle valve version was adaptable and that 
there were a number of builders that had made this conversion. They suggested 
I post the builders list to ask what would be necessary to change on the 
construction process. I would like to talk to some people that have done so I 
could lookout for some of the big pitfalls. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
