Bryan,

 

           I did, on the recommedation of Doug Wheeldreyer who was the Lancair 320/360 tech rep at the time. The main reason being that there is the greater degree of flexibility in regards to CG placement. Other benefits include not having to cut a hole in the firewall for the "dogbowl" relief needed if your'e using a constant speed prop and depending on engine model you can use a direct spin on oil filter with the engine forward. It leaves a bit more room behind the engine to work or mount components as well.

 Disclaimer: I'm not flying yet but should be this summer.
