It is going to be a tight squeeze Hurant
but I think it is doable. You will have to use a short straight
intake manifold. Is this an RX8 engine?

Hurant,
I have done it. Just be aware that I had to move the engine 4.42" forward
to maintain the CG in the proper location. My first engine mount was made
to keep the propellor hub in the exact location designed by John Thorp, same
down thrust, and the side thrust kicked the opposite direction. With the
battery located per Thorp's drawings (behind the baggage bulkhead), my CG
was toward the rear, but not out of limits. On my second engine mount I
recalculated the required weight redistribution and moved the engine
forward.
