Doubtful, but maybe. Seeing is believing and I’d sure like to see the W&B & performance numbers too. Even if it was done, the endurance would probably only be about 2 hours at 18 gph.

IT IS TRUE AND I HAVE SEEN THE PHOTOS, I DON'T SEE WHY IT IS NOT DOABLE, IF YOU HAVE THE BIG TAIL AND SHORT MOUNT, NO HEADER TANK, MAYBE YOU SHOULD THINK AGAIN.

Me too Ed. I really hate to say BS to an IO-540 installation but the CG would be WAY out of whack. Honestly, I just don’t believe it.

Danny, I agree that old doesn’t mean bad. But they are good until one day, then they are weak. The replacements are 18 bucks, so I wouldn’t reinstall an old one regardless of test. Lancair has 4 models, which one is for L360?
I can’t wait to see the IO540 install. The 360 is tight enough. Ed Gray
