4.4 inches is what I have on the 3D between block and upper motor mount
tube. Too tight for a 90 degree exhaust pipe bend. A three inch radius and a two
inch pipe require four inches minimum. Then of course the exhaust
gases would do their damnedest to burn through the bend :)

Uh, once the motor mount is all welded up, and the exhaust flange is welded to the
exhaust pipes, and the exhaust pipes are welded to the collector/muffler/turbo, how
would you assemble it?  It seems that the motor mount would make a circle, and the
exhaust system would be another circle (between the pipes).  Alternatively, if one
welded stuff together so the circles interlink (so that it fits), then how would one
*ever* dismount the engine?

Good point Russell. Shows hows far we have come with this planing stuff.
