Motor mount does not look like a fit for
any RV series aircraft – mount seems to imply very small cowling –
not enough depth (height) to fit an RV – I would guess a small Lancair.
Lancair? Glastar? Other? Looks like an RWS gear box. Intake
looks a bit familiar but then could just be similar to one I’ve seen
before. Cooling ducts could stand a redesign – looks like they used
parallel rather than series GM cores for radiator, rectangular oil cooler on
the bottom back of engine.

I don't recognize it
either but a heck of a deal. Good example of how NOT to do the RD-1X oil
return. Must not be below level of oil in pan. Back pressure will
cause rear oil seal to leak.
