Ian - Please call me or email me directly to discuss the cowl you are designing. I too have the wider 200 hp engine. But before you go and make those VERY large bulges on the lower cowl, you should consider the impact they will have on the speed of the airplane. I have over 200 hp with my engine, and also the those big bulges. At this point in my flying, I believe I have one of the more powerful 360's, and probably the SLOWEST due to all the bumps and bulges. I am sure that over time I will be able to get some of the speed back, but for now, it is embarassing. I am not sure how much of my speed loss is due to the intake runner bulges, but... you may want to consider modifying the intake runners before you bulge the cowl.
