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.

Interesting.  Does anyone recoginze it? (who built it?)  The components alone are worth much more than the asking price so far...
