In this picture of Tom Jordans airplane you can see the muffler fairly
close in to the engine. You can also make out the burn parts on the prop.
The spar is inline with the firewall and well ahead of the muffler.

Looks like a LongEz. Is it? So where would you put the muffler? I can see
how it could go outboard 6 or so inches, but then you hit the wing root. By
the way - is that a stock transmission housing with a redrive inside?
Where's the rad & oil cooler/s on this installation?

Yep It is a LongEZ. Cut away the wing root and move it outboard. That is about your
only choice. That is a Ross redrive with the starter on the exhaust side.
The rad is under the engine. the oil cooler is under the muffler but I have
not heard from Tom since OSH so I did not get a chance to ask him how it 
well it is working. I suspect not very.
