Hanging the Engine


OK, everything from the cockpit aft is FINISHED.  Doug Dodge from Aero Specialties, Bay City MI welded me up an engine mount and it fit perfect, mount bolts just slipped right in.  Since this is not the original engine or mount there is a LOT of plumbing modifications to be done.  First the engine would not fit unless I removed the aux oil cooler... so I have to find a spot for it.  None of the oil or fuel lines match up and the PSC-5 carb will not work with this installation.  So... I'll be busy the entire month of March just plumbing the engine before we can test run.  Thats it for the moment... Over & Out!
