Lycoming Fuel Injector placement

[EAABipe40FF]

I'm in the process of installing the HIO360A1A on the Acroduster 2 and have several issues. First is the placement of the fuel injectors into the cylinders. There is a hole(plugged if not used) on both the top and bottom of the intake side of the cylinder. On the IO320 the injectors go into the top of the cylinders. I find that the injectors on the HIO360 are on the bottom which causes problems. Not only will they have to go through the baffles but they are quite long and since the cowling is REALLY going to be tight with the wider engine, it will be difficult if not impossible to fit them in....

So the question is, can I put the injectors in the top rather in the bottom? Does it make a difference?

I'll take pictures today.

Thanks,

Jack
