Matt, I did exactly that on my RV9A - mount the engine prior to closing
the front forward fuselage. I STILL wound up wishing I'd done it even
later. I think it's normal to do it that way.

Subject: Mounting The Engine...
Dear Listers,
I'm getting close to mounting the engine on the 'ol RV-8. I'd like to hold off
riveting the front top skin on until I'm sure all of the wiring and what not
works with the various engine sensors. Is it "safe" to mount the engine before
this skin is in place? Also, I have a QB and I noticed that none of the rivets
along the sides where the cowl hinges go are riveted save for a couple of
temporary pop rivets. Can the engine be mounted before these two areas are completely
riveted?
Thanks!
Matt Dralle

My engine was on the mount for years before I riveted the front top skin.
I'd do it that again. I checked my photos, and the rivets between the side
skins and the firewall flanges (the ones that hold the cowl hinges) were
also done after the engine had been hung.
Good luck hanging the engine.

On my RV-6 I hung the engine without the top skin but I'd recommend putting
a rivet in every hole on the side skin to upper longeron. There is a lot of
stress on those skins so I would not do it without riveting the side and
bottom cowling attachments.
