Guys...reached a major milestone w/ the completion of my engine mount  
and trial fitting of my engine and cowls. Everything seems to be   
true, level, and properly aligned w/ prop flange offset as per manual.  
Offset required some tweaking of the footwells; looks like the offset  
will also require two small blisters on the top cowl...one for the  
front corner of the stbd fuel rail, and one for an offending edge of  
the starter motor housing. Cowls are from Alex Bowman's molds who used  
them w/ his Honda/CAM 125 engine. I'll be needing a 2.5 to 3 inch prop  
hub extension.

Now on to the inlet and exit ducts for the 2 radiators...exhaust  
system to follow; if anyone has had experience w/  so called "Swiss  
mufflers", I'd love to hear about it.

Engine from RAM Performance w/ MPEFI; dual inlet ports (one per  
cylinder) produces 140 hp @ 5500 rpm; Autoflite PSRU means prop  
rotation will be counter-clockwise.
