 Paul,  attached are photos of my engine installation thus far.  All
 the major components are in place except for the air filter box which
 probably have to be built into the cowl.   There will be shielding
 between the fuel rail and the exhaust. The ignition wires came with
 the engine.  Obviously, they don't fit.   ---Jerry

Everything looks good. The rear motor mounts are a bit overkill
as the front two mounts will take 90% of the load.

Chuck Dunlap got his oil cooler to work back there with careful ducting

>from a cheek inlet at the front of the cowl. I don't think it will

work with a NACA duct. The muffler looks great. How thick is the SS
it is made from?

The muffler is .065 304 SS.  I rough cut the saddles with a plasma
and then final fitted with a 4" grinder.  It took most of a day.
The engine mount grew as the design changed a number of times.  If I
were to start from scratch, I could save l8 oz. and it would look a
lot cleaner. My wife is the photographer and I can't get her to crop
the engine mount which I find a bit embarrassing. I have scrapped the
NACA duct for now. How many of those have you shot down?  Actually a
very low profile snorkel with 1/4" bleed might be cool.   The oil
cooler is mounted with the stock rubber dampers and stands off the
fire wall 2".
