airframe]

I have squeezed a 0-320 DIF into a 235 cowl after adding several inches
of depth and a couple of small blisters: nr 2 exhaust and alternator
pulley.  (I have the short mount)  I cut off the bottom section that
housed the carb and added a relative straight section 2-3 inches
(vertical) and then reconnected the pre molded portion.  I had to build
up a portion of the area behind the spinner backup flange but probably
would have needed that regardless.  I did not use enough plys in the
section I added but otherwise it is acceptable.

The really amazing part of this story is when I changed from a fixed
pitch two blade wooden prop to a MT three blade constant speed, I needed
to make NO changes or additions.  Even the W/B was OK.  But I digress...

If you need additional thoughts or confusion, let me know.  Earl
