The only install I've seen with the prop gov cable on top was an RV-10 with an AC compressor on the engine (the compressor blocked the normal cable path).
The Van's prop gov cable bracket did not work on my plane. I made a cable bracket that is part of the left baffles (I did not use the Van's baffle kit). Photo attached. Please look past the temporary hardware and screws not yet having safety wire.
I used the cable Van's sells.

You would also have a greater need to have a cable with good temperature resistance as a cable on the top would be subjected to significant temperatures in after flight heat soak, more so than under the engine. I'm not sure I see any real advantage to going over the top.

All the 10s I've seen have it come up from the bottom, but there's no physical reason it couldn't route over the cylinders. Lots of other planes do that. You'd probably need a custom cable, though.

Although I don’t have my engine yet, I am building baffles,etc. in preparation for it. The baffle plans show bracketry for the prop governor cable coming up from the bottom of the engine. I bought the bracket that bolts to the governor and presumably routes the cable above the engine, which would be a preferred route. I can find no documentation on this routing in the plans or the instruction page that came with the bracket. Nor can I find anything in the forum searches. Does anyone have any info on this subject (links to your website, cable length, etc.)
