Will an IO-360-BIA fit in the standard T-18 engine compartment? A friend has one he may sell to me but I dont want it if it wont fit. Anyone have any insight?

If it's an angle valve, your cheeks will need to be squirreled as the standard cheek will not fit over the valve covers.

The angle valve engine is significantly heavier so by the time you put the necessary weight in the tail for proper weight and balance, you will not gain anything.

B1A is an injected parallel valve motor, should be fine.

I guess I should just go measure the thing and be done with it. I appreciate all the info.
