Randy,
Yes, there are several alternative systems. Superior used to make a composite one, now changed to metal, and there are a couple of other alternatives. My question was on the impact of using this type of induction is a 360 cowling. Chris' reply answers that by stating that the impact on both the cowling and the exhaust system is severe. I will have to stick with vertical induction.

Are you asking about the cold induction systems for 360's? There's one by Superior, one by ECI and another by a mid west fabricator ( I can't remember the name).

Subject: [LML] Horizontal Induction
Has anyone fitted a 360 with a Lycoming engine with horizontal induction? I am about to buy my engine, and am tempted by the apparent benefits of using a horizontal induction sump. However Superior for one stated that their orignal sump did not fit a 360. If you did fit an engine with horizontal induction, what modifications to the cowling and the exhaust were needed, and was it worth it? Thanks.
