Paul,

  When you bought this engine a while back you said you were considering
flying it as is. More recently you've come back to talk of a 250HP turbo
engine. What is your plan, n.a. or turbo?

  The reason for the question? Im wondering what the status is on the
intake flanges and other intake hardware you were looking into? Are you
going to be building an n.a. manifold for your 6 port engine? Have you
checked the drawing I sent you against your engine to verify its accuracy?

I will probably fly this one as is at reduced gross weight but I am still
looking for a 93 or later to turbo. Compared to the price of aircraft
engines, Mazda rotaries are dirt cheap :-)

Also I would like to show up at an air show and say "yeah I got it out of
a junkyard and it had 100K on it, barely broken in, I didn't do a thing 
to it and so far I have a couple of hundred hours and it is running fine 
and strong as ever" :-)

I can use my low height water pump on the new engine. I had another idea on 
lowering the pump another couple of inches but that I will save for the future.
