I am planning on making a new cowl after I get the
    engine mounted.
    I will probably take Terry Adam's advice and move the
    prop flange out to 38.5-39 inches for weight and
    balance considerations.
    I have another cowl like this attachment on my flying
    Thorp but it would be too short.

    Well if you going to make a new cowl I'll have to move the
    engine out. I'll also do a cowl design for you.
    That should ease the cooling problem.

Paul, one of the interesting aspects of the Thorpe is the side exit of
cowl air. You once published pictures of the new diesel trucks using a
faired side exit. I believe youcould side mount two radiators and side
exit the air well.

Yes it is a good feature to keep. Perhaps with cowl flaps no
less.
