Your right! The engine is inverted. I'm sure all the cowls are the same shape as mine and with that being said you'll notice that the cowl isn't round. The bottom drops down a bit giving a little more room for the inverted position. I don't think you'll find the same room horizontally. However your engine is shorter than mine so you may be able to sneak it in. Now there's the consideration of cooling. The cowl is too tight against the fuselage for that. You'll need to make a hole. I wanted mine on the bottom. After all a lot time spent in admiration of this beauty will be on the ground. The unsightly hole won't be as noticeable to the ants.
