        Paul,

          Attached is bad photo of my 13B/Bellhsg,/RD1C......The bellhsg.

     is approx. 14" diameter at rear hsg., 8" diameter at redrive and 8.1"

     deep.......The prop flange face is 19.350" from eng. Rear hsg. and

     44" from firewall.......Do you think their is room to snake a ram-air

     inlet from the sharkmouth inlet to the "Russell" manifold ?  I really

     want to avoid side inlets on the cowl and have the cowl fair directly

     into the 16" spinner  and sharkmouth inlet .



     Thanks

     Kelly Troyer
