Buly,
 Your engine looks great. I really like the bellhousing. I remember researching how to use a stock bellhousing about a year and a half ago. At that time, John Lauter was the only person with knowledge of 13Bs which came with transmissions that did not have integral bellhousings. Where are you going to place your motor mounts? I really like the way that Chuck Dunlap has set up his RV-6. Those corragated stainless steel coolant lines look great, are strong, flexible and light weight.
 Eddie H. asked me where you've been. I think he misses you!

Hi Charlie, I like these coolant lines myself. My mount will be like Todd's with rubber Barry mounts on the fire wall. Their max temp limit is 200F. So I will keep them Max away from the eng.
Tell Eddie that I feel guilty for not being able to get there.
I have been developing a preluber/oil change system for the big diesels and showed it at an equipment show in RI. It looks promising. I had to make a new one for the Ft Laud. boat show. Sofar people like it. Picture below. The base is 7.5X10.5"
and has a gear pump 3 gal. min 12V. Has a limit pressure valve set to 30psi. after that goes in to a loop.
It pressurizes the oil system before start
You can evacuate the oil pan
and pump back fresh oil with the same unit
Keep your fingers crossed

Sounds great Bulent for aircraft engines too. A lot of aircraft engines sit
around for months too. Just like pleasure boats. What does it weigh?
