Thanks for the quick reply.

The firewall will be composite sandwich (nomex or equivalent).  The

hard

points for the motor mount will be located at the 'corners' of the
firewall, as close to the edge as practical and fabricated in a
bulletproof fashion.  I can get you exact locations as we progress,

but

wanted to leave them flexible for FWF optimization.

Our plan for the cowl design, as of right now, is to have it exit

near

the low (relative) pressure above the leading edge of the

wing/fuselage

junction. This might be long enough to do one of those optimum K&M

ducts

we're always hearing about.

You're right, tubing, not pipe.  I bought from that vacuum supply

outfit

back east you recommended.  We do have Tom's 20B manifold and are

using

just 3 runners.  The tubing is 16 guage, I'll recheck just to be

sure.

Our thinking is to make the intake in 2 halves that join right at

that

casting nub on the top of the rotor housings, maybe with a wiggins

type

clamp.

We intend to use Jerry Hey (is he Perf. Solutions?) for the motor

mount.

As for the bell housing, George, are you out there?  Do you have

your

old drawings still?

Using Tracy's redrive model will work for a while since George's

housing

was a drop in replacement.

I'll get more measurements to you soon.

Chris Cosman

Performance Solutions is here in So Cal next to Mazdatrix.
People are having trouble getting in touch with Jerry. Have you been

in

touch with

him lately? Last email address I have for him is: Jerry Hey

 Chris,
Drawings ! what  drawings?
I did the original prototype on measurements only, it's only when Butch
insisted that I follow his exact measurements that I used drawings.
I will do up something with external measurements for Paul , off the
pattern, as soon as I can - OK!
Always willing to help.

If this looks right George just load this into paint and mark it up
with a few dimensions.

Paul,
That's the new one - not the prototype!
George

OK. Chris can you take a picture straight on for me?
