I'll say it once more.   In the real world of actually flying these

we of limited time and financial resources are going to use the side 

port

engine.  There is nothing to be gained by comparing peripheral ported 

Le

Mans racing engines and stock or street ported side port engines.

The cost of periperal port housing is not that much more. Particularly
if you are buying new housings anyway.

Racing Beat list them for $837 each as compared to...  I would guess....
around $300 each for new stock housings. About $1100 difference. If you
have your
engine professionally street ported (I estimate about $200 each) you are
down to about  $700 difference.

Hey $1700 additional for new peripheral port housings over the price of
a 
junk yard engine is cheap for a 200 HP aircraft engine. That will set
you 
back $20,000 or more. Lets keep things in perspective here.

BTW take a look at this drawing. Is the white background all that
important
to you guys? I am using a new process for converting ACAD files to gif's
but it is a lot more work.

Also BTW anybody know how to turn the menu's off and on in ACAD 11 while
using it? Contact me if you have ACAD 12 for DOS.
