Paul,

Your drawing in your msg of July 03, 2003, captures the configuration I was thinking of  for a pusher.   The heading
was Long EZ Motor Mount and Cooling

Sorry I missed it.

Putting the rad and oil cooler side by side as you mentioned in the above msg may be doable.  Racing Beat shows an oil
cooler that measures 6.5" X 22" X 2" thk.  Part No. 11809, pp 68.

Just measured the firewall, (Its a LEZ).  The width is about 16" at the bottom and 18" about 2" above where the
measurement for the 16" dimension was taken.  Not to work with.

Regards,
Joe Graham

The stock 2nd gen RX7 cooler is near that size.

Here is a view from the top. Also a few shots of Joe Berki's cut back fuse.
He did not quite use the same landing gear pivot bolt but came
close enough. On hind sight a beam mount would have given him more 
room for the exhaust.
