      The cowl is looking great. I still believe I will place radiators in the
 wing strakes behind the firewall. The 9"x13" GM evaporators fit very well
 between the ribs in this area. The oil cooler and turbo intercooler can be
 on right side of cowl as you suggest but I would like the air inlet for them
 to be centered below the spinner as the cowl has to be shaped lower in this
 area to cover the nosewheel pivot point. The radiator outlets (flaps) will be
 on the top of the wings and I thank your idea to put the oil

cooler/intercooler

 flaps on top of the cowl is good (Low pressure area/best cooling during

climb).

      Three view of what? The entire A/C or just the engine/cowl area? Also

the

 cowl will fair right into the 16" spinner as the "Ivo" prop and spinner will

be

 another 3"+ forward of the PSRU prop flange.

      I can hardly wait to see how the engine mount will look with the wide

stance

 provided by your design. I guess you have figured out that the plate attach

point

 will be on the thrust line (Or as close as space permits).
     Really is looking great!

       Thanks

There is no room for a plate with a Ross. This shows a Schertz Beam Mount
under the front end housing.

      Paul,
        My Ross already has a 1/2" plate between engine and the Ross bell housing
 from my previous narrow mount design. My Ross was ordered with a 1/2" longer
 input shaft to allow for this plate.

OK that's different. Hang on. Too bad they are not all like that :-)
