No pictures of the cooling system or intercooler.
That is a lot of the installation design work. Probably take
another five years to get it to cool in the airplane :-)

They sure re-invented the wheel on the front cover.
Yes it has a vacuum pump pad. Looks like a new water pump too.
Moving the alternator to where they put it is just plain silly.

Note the stock Mazda dip stick and oil filler :-)

I like that new cast aluminum sump. How to spend money :-)
Perhaps they think that is going to cool the oil. Wrong!

that the students have such a cool project to work on.  I would be amazed
if we ever see one for sale.  I would even be surprised if they fly it.
