If you use parts from that engine, I suggest you research the differences between a TSIO360 E and the engines you currently have in your 337, which, depending on year and whether pressurized are not, are either -Ax, -Bx, -Cx or -Hx models. The x is either blank or B to my knowledge, but I do not claim certain knowledge here. E.G. TSIO-360-CB.

If you install a -E engine in your skymaster without converting it (if it will fit, I think there will be accessory problems, and various other problems, turbo controller not same, exhaust different, etc.) your airplane will not be in compliance with the type certificate. If I recall correctly, although it is hazy, I think Seneca pistons are different than Skymasters as well. I know the operating parameters are different - different max boost for example.

Anyway, as I recall, you were thinking about trying to make your airplane experimental... And you probably know all that already, just FYI if you are interested...
