Does anyone know if Marcotte ever delivered on their promised redrive, it
looked like a well engineered unit! And they said they were making a mazda
bellhousing. And it had cs oil provided. Must have been too good to be true.

Last I heard the price was $3500 and the weight was higher than Tracy or
Ross.

They said they have the 13B adaptor 'ready'.  Marcotte has an excellent design!
However, not only are they more expensive ($3500 was about right), they still
don't have a source for making any (as of Nov.).  They quoted me a weight of 48
lbs.

Bad place for the extra weight. Also bad because it is shorter than the
ROSS
and Tracy's so the weight of the engine will be further forward.
Furthermore it waste room under most cowlings as you don't need the
engine offset lower. That room under the engine is precious for
the use of one large area rad.
I will say it again. It is going to be hard to beat a planetary.
