PSRU. The completely dressed CG will be about the intersection of the front
rotor housing and the front end housing. (Rears in the car).
The firewall forward weight including rads and coolant will be around
300 to 320 pounds.

Paul,
The Mecanair site quotes 340 dry without air, water or oil coolers - do you
think the
difference might be in their PSRU ?

Its probably a lot of things. Probably includes starter, alternator,
turbo (35 pounds), intake manifold, exhaust manifold, PSRU and gear 
driven accessories with Lycoming type dynafocal engine mount plate 
(heavy way to go). A bed mount with the rubber bushings under the
engine CG is a much lighter way to go.
