Need to learn TiG anyway.  Where do I get a gearbox, intake,
 ignition, injection, exhaust, turbo?  I have a friend that can
 get me an engine at wholesale.  I'd like 300 hp and
 turbonormalized so I can go to altitude. ?If that is too
 ambitious, 250 HP.  Is there someone that would build it for me
 and if so, what would that cost?  What prop would you suggest.
 Do you have plans, or a book or how do I learn all this stuff?
 I have a lycoming engine mount. ?Can that be adapted or shall I
 start over?  I'll need to learn about cooling and ducting but
 can copy the work of others if I can get the info.

The turbo is a real can of worms but be prepared for a lot of extra
work. We will be here to help however.

250 HP is no problem with a p-port.
Read up on all this stuff as it is on the web site below.

I think the Lycoming mount for a 6 cylinder might be too short -
leading to aft-CG challenges.  My impression is that the 13B ends up
similar in length to a 4 cylinder Lycoming.

We can fix that with the motor mount. You need a custom mount for
the Mazda anyway. An RV10 has the same problem.
