Was this the place you got your idea for the VAM pipe???

It was taken at the PIMA air museum in Tucson.  The Presidents army
helocopter has a round engine with these on both sides. The horns
draw air to the outer shell and do the same as the VAM.

BTW Jerry I have a solution for your motor mount. Real simple and easy.
Can be bolt in. If you are still interested let me know and I will do
a 3D. It involves a single strut brace with rubber rod ends.

Jerry,
It involves using two of these 1/2 inch rubber male rodends from McMaster Carr
on a short adjustable strut running down from the one inch square steel tube
bolted under the oil pan down to the nose gear leg socket.
