>> The firewall itself does not carry the thrust forces. The triangular chocks
 at the engine mount attach locations transfer those forces into the
 fuselage.<<

...Always wondered what those triangular chocks with the bitty holes on the 
firewall were.

Was wondering if a firewall reinforcement (engine mount attach points in the 
firewall) is practical considering my hypothetical notion regarding a 200HP 
on the 320. I 'm also a little curious to know if anyone has placed a 200HP 
on a 320.  I think, via Internet a while ago, a fellow had built several 
320's with a 200HP and has/had them for sale or sold. If it is totally 
discouraged than that would be nice to know also. In addition, forward thrust 
forces between a 180 and 200HP was not my major concern (or should it be my 
major one?) Torque, asymmetrical thrusts, hard landing forces with added 
weight of the varr.pitch prop, and CG did come to mind. A 58 lb. vari pitch 
prop more firewall forward with the ext. mount seems fwd heavy. And yes I do 
recall V2=3DV1 x cube root (hp2/hp1)...Twice the speed wanted eight times the 
HP needed - cool perspective!  BTW, is the LML archive accessible to it's 
members? 

thanks!
