Finally since
there is no modification to the existing Van's supplied conical mount,
switching to Lyc power is a bolt on at a later date. I think this may be
desirable in the future for resale purposes. IMHO no matter how good we
think the 13B is as an aircraft engine the rest of the aviation public
isnt  buying it. I would imagine that a 13B powered RV4 is probably
unsellable. How do you finance the next project if you cant sell 
the current one?

Maybe not yet but they will :-) 
You can always buy another conical mount from Van. PL

I'm not an Engineer so I can't comment on the structural soundness of this
mount. But as an RV-6 builder I do like the Idea of using Van's mount
without modification. If this mount or something like it could accomplish
that without  a huge weight penalty then I would surely be interested.
Just my .02$, James
