I have purchased a turrentine renesis to
eventually replace the O-320 in my -6A. I was playing with intake manifold
ideas and realized that the engine mount could dictate the design possibilities
significantly, especially with the exhaust, which requires three tubes (like my
prior 20B). the Schertz beam type mount puts the diagonal tubes way
outboard, and, it seems to me, provides solid mounting tabs for radiators and
such. the standard bed-mount looks like the front diagonals will conflict
with the exhaust and affect my intake manifold design (thinking same
side). I haven't built a plywood firewall yet, just eyeballing
things.
when I was building my
rv-8/20B the engine mount was ordered and I worked around it. are
these the normal steps, or do I need to mock up both concurrently? is
there that many choices in the mount geometry for the -6A? would changing
my plane to a taildragger benefit me much? Ed's no help 'cause he got his
in 90 degrees crooked! :-) kevin (portland/cape cod trip
