I just finished bolting my new engine mount to my aircraft.
I can't tell you how pleased I am with the fit and finish of this
perfectly designed mount.  It is an exact replacement for the
factory continental unit.  Early on I decided I wanted more
reliability than was available from Lycoming or Continental and
I decided to use Zehrbach's 650 cu. inch inverted V-8.  One of
the main stipulations was that my nose gear be mounted
in the same location as the factory gear.  I wanted my already
completed gear doors etc. to still fit the new v8 mount, and
it turned out perfect, absolutely no modification to my factory
parts.  All that was needed was to drill the original mount to
firewall holes out to except the new 1/2 " bolts.  This engine
is designed to have the full 500 horsepower at 25,000'.  The
engine is a direct drive 2700 RPM max.  Zehrbach will be
running my engine in the Dyno soon.

I have for sale a 550 mount and complete cowl.
