An inverted engine poses many problems, flooding, access to the glow plug and so on. IF you want to do this to give that 'Perfect' look to the AC - fine go for it.

However; I have found that I am happier with an engine mounted either upright or at 90 degrees. This way I spend my time flying the plane and not tuning the engine.
