Two part reply here,
Also to be clear, several insurance companies have guaranteed coverage
for Powersport installations, AND AT THE SAME PRICE AS A CERTIFIED
ENGINE!.
Ted, could you provide a list of the insurance companies approving the
Power Sport FWF package please?
This would include the firewall mounted radiator that is problematic
in hot weather.
Paul, in using the Power Sport engine mount mentioned here, do you see an
easy way of converting cooling to the lower portion where it should be, by
a
modification on their motor mount and their cowling?
I don't know. Do you have a Power Sport engine? Part of the problem
is their PSRU offset. It moves the engine down into valuable real
estate (if you will) below the engine. This assumes the thrust line is in
its proper place according to the designer of the airplane. At the same
time it frees up real estate above the engine. Real estate that is
useless for most installation.
The most practical place to put a modern efficient and thin large area
radiator
is under the engine.

No Paul,
The cost for their engine is to high for me.
But I was considering the PSRU because of its stiffness in side loads for
aerobatics. I have a RV-6 with the Lycosaurus 0-360. Also was considering
their engine mount, since I don't have much time or expertise to invest in
fabricating my own mount but if the offset design would make it difficult to
place the Rad below
