Dick and Jerry this is what I recommend.
I'll send another view in the next day or so.
The simple tangential muffler is outboard of the motor
mount tubes. George's bell housing should also work if you
want to build for that instead of a new motor plate.
The oil cooler is on the other side alongside the
water rad. One duct for both.

Simple Tangentials seem to fit nicely in any situation. Easy to
build
too. Trouble is they cost about 15 hp. Jerry
Are you sure? :) There is not a lot of room in a Long for tuned
pipes and a muffler.

When I originally built a simple tangental,several people including
Lynn warned me about the hp penalty. The "15 hp" is a SWAG. I
don't
really know how big the penalty would be. Jerry
What does SWAG stand for - study with a guesstimate !?
George (down under)
Something + wild ass guess. The trouble with the Long EZ there is no
room
for 32 inch long tuned pipes AND a muffler. You are going to need some
kind of muffler.

SWAG= Scientific Wild Ass Guess........jerry
