Bill, I checked my rad to see if it would fit in the
new configuration. Looks tight but I think it will
fit with no cowl modifications other than loping off
the hump on the bottom of the cowl which I was going to do anyway.

turbo and the intercooler with a push pull rod going straight back

to the instrumental panel. The rad setup shown will be redone.

IMHO a major breakthrough in aircraft engine motor mounts.

Paul,

What are the dimensions on the firewall where the mount supports bolt to on
this picture?
How much weight does the rear bracket carry.  Will have to beef up my
firewall at that point, need to know how much.

That is a Kis Cruiser and it is composite. The firewall is 1/2 inch (I think)
plywood with glass on both sides. Four or five layers of 10 oz as I recall.
Vance engineered it so he would now. The rear mount has about 50 pounds
max static on it and about 300 pounds in a six G turn or a hard landing drop in.
While the airplane is climbing and the prop thrust is a max the load on the 
rear mount goes to near zero.

As I recall you have a metal Murphy so beef it up like this Questair Venture
picture with a steel hat section. The Questair has a very short link but the
link can be of any length. Mine goes from the oil pan to the top of the firewall.
