Hi, Paul...thanks for the good news (the performance airflow is a keeper)
and the bad news....motor mount and air box, etc is junk.....In answer to
your questions.....the engine is going on an SQ2000 canard pusher, similar
to a Velocity.  I do not, unfortunately know the ratio of the Ross Aero
unit.  I guess I need more help than I thought....I need a good source for
an engine mount, preferably one that has the same firewall mounting
dimensions as a Lycoming mount (I believe one of the manufactures I saw on
the net sells their unit with a mount that starts out like a Lycoming....I
believe it was made in Switzerland.

     Concerning the intake manifold you are working on....I have been
watching the progress....Very intersting !!!!  Might that manifold somehow
mate to my Performance Airflow throttle body without lots of extra plumbing?
Thanks again for your reply. Paul Conner

Well the good news is you will have plenty of room over the engine
to fit things in with out moving the alternator and modifying the water
pump. The guys down in South Florida might be able to help you out
with a motor mount. Both John slade and Bulent went in together on
motor mounts as I recall. How is that going guys?

Here is a picture of John's. This needs a bit of improvement but it
is 90% there IMHO. The four mounts should be tied to each other
with small tubing adjacent and parallel to the firewall to reduce
local bending in the tubes near where they bolt to the anti foam 
plate between oil pan and engine. You will need a stock pan
from somewhere. Let me know if you can't find one locally 
and we will see if we cannot dig one up. Bruce Frank here in CA will
build you a custom aluminum oil pan for about $150 plus shipping 
with the anti foam/motor mount plate included.
