Butch,
Just some answers to your remarks as follows,

Yep George, I agree with Paul...The Starter mounting position can go

either

way, so go with what works best for YOU.....Just remember that the

"Yankee

Export" model will have identical Left and Right Engine mounting pads,

so a

little forward thinking/planning is prudent at this time ;)

Point taken on the engine mounts!!
I have taken your needs into consideration for the US .version

Regarding your 8:00 o'clock Rib.....It appears that you're planning on

wrapping

it around to the face of the Engine mounting pad??? If so, you don't

need to,

since that corner is already very well structured (beefed-up) from the

inside.

No not wrapped around - for the reasons you have stated!

The same goes for the 9:00 o'clock Rib, just terminate it at the center

of the

semi round built-up Engine mounting Bracket shoulder stop....(Mouthfull)
However, my observations could be wrong as it's very dark in that area

of the

photo.

Other than that it looks "Cannon Proof"....You're practically ready to

pour!!!

NICE, NICE JOB!!

Thanks for that Butch, it's nice to get yours and Paul's  feed back.
Now if the foundry is happy we won't be far off pouring - didn't take too
long did it !!
