Probably a type 753 or 771. The F1 engine. That had a flat fan but the 908 had a vertical fan. The F1 engine also used carbs at least initially.

the continental TSIO-550-C is a twin turbo/intercooled, injected, 6-cylinder, 550 cubic inch 310 hp engine weighing 420 lbs wet.

I am an A&P and yes, it is fun but this model in a Cessna 350 means you have to remove both intercoolers to change plugs. Annuals are around 2-3K on this aircraft.

Job security James... Try doing plugs on a twin or triple row radial engine then remember how that pays the bills at the end of the month!
