I have decided to offer S-BEAM ENGINE MOUNT KITS. The kit will contain
the S-beam built to Paul Lamar's drawings so that each kit is still
tailored to the individual project. It will also include the high
capacity aluminum oil pan and a pick-up so there will be no aluminum
fab required. The builder (1) bolts the S-beam and oil pan to the
engine. (2) Blocks up the engine in front of the firewall exactly as he
wants it to be, and then (3) fits the engine mount tubing. No fixture
required and a perfect fit guaranteed every time. Kit price is $900.00.

Sounds good Jerry, For a Long-ez, have you
been able to get the overall length of the S-beam to less than 18
inches? Is the position of the bung-hole on the oil pan selectable? Joe
Graham Joe, glad to  hear from you. I thought you and Paul were working on the final design.
As far20as I know the overall length of the S- beam is proposed to be
18.31 inches with a distance between Barry centers of 16.31 inches.
Paul, can you take another look at this. If you see no problems, I am
ready to go ahead. Joe, the drain has to be in the deepest part of the
pan but it can be located anywhere side to side. Jerry That is fine.
Paul Lamar Hi Jerry, Is that price good for the 20B also? If not, how
much is it going for? Mine will be going into a Velocity SE-RG. Thanks
much and best regards! John Bell Hi John, yes the price is for most
engine mounts. You should contact Paul to get the engine mount properly
designed so that we know the exact length of the S-beam (and whether it
is symmetrical or asymmetrical and also pan details. Assuming there are
no unusual features the price is good. Jerry

Thanks for the quick response Jerry :-) I have a Velocity Franklin engine mount that I was going to use for my engine, and tie to an oil pan plate that I got from Conversion Concepts before Fred decided to walk away with the rest of my money. I assume the mount I already have can be modified to work with the Schertz beam?
John Bell
I think you would be better off selling the Franklin mount and starting from a longer schertz beam. Here is what the Franklin mount looks like.

Are you turbo or non turbo? The wide S beam gives more room for exhaust and a turbo if you need one.
Mock up everything you plan on using with foam blocks and then design the motor mount. I will also do it for free if you send me a dwg on the firewall hard points, the length of the cowl from firewall to prop flange and the thrust line location.

Paul,
You're a gentleman and a scholar. Thanks for the offer. I will take
some measurements and get back to you...however, I am away from home
for a while so it may be a while. Thanks again and from all of us out
here, we appreciate all you do and all the help you give.
Best regards,
John
