This might be a silly question, and since I have  never flown a plane with fuel injection, what do you do about mixture. Is that  compensated for with the injection? Just one more thing I would like to know for  the future. Also, pros and cons of fuel injection? Also for you 801 builders,  did you buy firewall forward stuff from Zenith. How about the prop? I'm not  really an experimenter, just an assembler and trying to make this as easy as  possible.

  

 Thanks in advance.

The IO-360 engine is wider then a O-360 by a little bit. The cowling zenith sells will not clear the valve covers of the IO motor. You will have to modify the cowling to get it to fit. It probably won't be a big deal though, just fiberglass on some small teardrop bumps.... The fuel injected engine will still have a mixture control just like the planes you fly now, and yes you will need to provide for a return line. 

do not archive

Another option if you are just interested in having fuel injection, not the extra horsepower, is looking at the XP-360 or other 360 clone. You can configure the engine with fuel injection, but the engine will fit the standard cowl.

The XP360 is actually the engine I have been looking at. I guess I don't 

have enough information to know what questions to ask.  Is the size 

difference in the engine or the fuel injection system?

This does get very confusing. When you say IO-360, most people think of the Lycoming IO-360 which is a little wider and is 200 HP. It is not just an 0-360 with fuel injection. However, the XP-360 is basically the same engine whether you get it with a carb (0-360) or fuel injection (IO-360). Both have the same dimensions for the engine itself.

That clears up a few more things.
