I hope this is enough info for you to CAD my mount. I don't have a
cowling as of yet. Seemed like that would be puttin the cart before
the .... Question. there is a Maszda Renesis engine on Barnstormers
that has a psru/(tracy crook), but it is an RV 8 mount. There are
extras, but no oil, or water cooling equipment. Asking 6900. Was
just recently rebuilt. forgot who, but here is the link.
barnstormers=search=mazda---- it pops up first. only one there. just
thought i'd ask your opinion. Seems like a reasonable deal.

It is nice to fit the engine in the stock cowl as custom cowls are a
lot of work.
You might try to sell the mount and cowl to an RV8 guy. The mount is
less than ideal
anyway. Very expensive and prone to oil leaks. The front rubber
bushing tend to over
heat. One or two critical brace tubes are missing. Other than that it
will work in an
RV8.
The engine looks good on the outside. Depends on the condition. Modest
HP. My guess
from looking at the intake manifold as well as I can see it around 190
HP if you are
lucky. No way 220 HP. That assumes a 2.95:1 gear box and and a prop
set for max take
off RPM of 7500. It's no P-port :)
Motor mount later.

Thankyou, for the drawing. I was a bit amazed as I didn't see the
other ads on BS until I put Mazda in search, and not Mazda rotary.
learn a little each day. I wasn't planning on the RV8 mount, but it
might be lucky to even sell it to some builder. the ad says it has a
2.85:1 drive. I was definitely planning on the P-type intake, as you
suggest. I thought that the engine having all the accouterments and
the extras, esp. since it's a Renesis, might be a good way to start.
How do I research the installations on the newsletter? I haven't read
everything on the site, yet. Have seen the P installation w/exhaust
set-up. very clean. I'm stoked to get in the air.
If you could ask Mr Unger if I could interrogate him about his
absolutely beautiful Glastar, I'd appreciate it. And if Mr Unger
reads this, please EM me.

The web site is not set up for researching all the installations on the newsletter.
We have been at it for at least 15 years and I have several hundred thousand files.
Something like 500 Gig. I would not be able to find anything with out the Linux
command "locate". That is my secret :) Using Windows to support the newsletter would
be a cruel joke :)
Just ask any questions about anything and "locate" will find it instantly.
I am sure Neal would not mind answering any questions and we can all benefit from the
exchange.
