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 2.85:1 gear
box and and a prop set for max take off RPM of 7500. It's no P-port :)
Motor mount later.

Thank you, 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.

Jack,
as Paul says this is open to all, and I personally have learnt a
lot from topics that seem irrelevant at first. So just ask away and I will
attempt to answer. I have now passed the final inspection so now cleaning
up the last 10 minute jobs, ( another month) then to map the engine and
first flight hopefully end of next week depending on work interruptions. I
believe you have a bargain at 6900. If you don't want it let me know!!
Neil.
