Hello Paul 'n All,
                          I think I've finaly decided on the direction that I need
to take.
1/2 13B peripheral port turbo charged.
Being in the seat of learning I'm looking to you guys (the fonts of wisdom) for
pointers and advice to overcome the inevitable problems that will arise.
The first questions that occur to me are:

1)  how to calculate flywheel counterballance wieghts or if anyone has done it
what wieght and radial distance?

2)  eccentric shaft machining & oil galleries etc.

I also intend using motorcycle type alternator and direct drive coolant pump off
the "front" end of the E shaft. I will probably use Tracy's EFI/ignition.
I will probably build my own redrive based on C6 but with integral oil pump and
small radiator to run proper gear oil rather than engine oil. Also use Fiat prop
shaft rubber damper.

First things first, so it's the 1/2 13B to concentrate on.

All comments, observations and advice welcomed.  :-)

Thanks,
Harry S

Ah very good questions. We have some lurkers on here that know
how to do these things but they are not forth coming with information.
They would like to sell you a complete engine for the ludicrous price
of $6500.

Gerry Hess has a 1 rotor engine built by Ross sp perhaps he can help.
