I have a line on a used one that was on an Arrow.

Anyone have any insight on this particular engine and whether or not it works well on the RV8?

I believe that it will not be suitable due to the aft induction system.

From VAF 2009 on the B1E in an RV-7A. From what's below you may be able to make it work but it would be a lot of "extra" work!
I have fitted a converted B1E to my 7A, the engine originally came from a Lancair. It now has a forward facing fuel servo, the same one that was originally fitted at the back. It appears that the sump was modified with a new internal tube for the forward facing servo and a new mounting pad welded to the sump.
I contacted Vans about the installation and they replied that to their knowledge a B1E had never been fitted to an rv before. It has been now!!
The only problems I have had are the Vetterman exhaust from Vans did not fit, I ended up modifying it and it now clears the induction tube and nose gear socket on the engine mount. I did contact Larry Vetterman about the exhaust and he did offer to manufacture a new one to fit, I chose to modify mine but would next time have Larry manufacture a new one for me. The fiberglass induction system from Vans also would not work and I have manufactured a new one using Scat tubing. 
I believe on some IO 360 B1E's there was a 45 degree bend that was fitted to the sump / fuel servo, After looking at this option i think it would clear the engine mount and would need no modifications to the induction.
If you would like some pics let me know and I'll send them through.

Cheers
Michael Haynes
