Paul,
        I have a Glass Goose that I plan on installing a 13B in. The
problem I am having to deal with
        is an aft C.G. issue. What I need to do is shed some weight in
back. I have made some
        changes, but it is not enough. If I can lighten the engine this
would help a lot. So, here are
        some questions regarding aluminum end and intermediate housings.
1. Are they for real?
Yes.

2. Where can they be found?

Racing Beat

3. How much lighter?

My guess is about 50 pounds for all three.

4. How reliable are they?

Don't know. Racing Beat claims they are :)

5. How much?

Check with Jim Mederer but I think you are looking at
about $4500 for the set of three.  http://www.racingbeat.com/

6. What is your opinion of them?

I don't have any hard and fast info at the moment.
I would prefer a silicon carbide detonation coating
rather than flame sprayed. If they fail you can always
have that done later.

Thanks,

Frank R. Clementi
