Jarrett,
The main problem (from my eyeball engineering) will
be integrating the Renesis (or other) water-pump into a
simplified
"Mistral" hsg without any interference with the Lycoming
mount ring and "Dyna-focal" engine mounts..........The only
part of
the "Renesis" hsg that has to be duplicated is the
water-pump hsg portion (see photo) and provisions made
for locating
the "Renesis" ignition sensor in the same
relative position on a redesigned "Mistral"
hsg..............Much of the "Mistral"
open front can be eliminated (no need for the accessory
drive section) but retaining the removable front cover
(which
doubles as a alternator mount point) would be a nice
feature (but add complication) as it allows access to the
13B front
thrust brg , gear stack and oil pump without pulling the
engine (this feature is not necessary if it is too
costly).............The
relative positions of the water-pump and front oil seal
from the 13B/Renesis frt side hsg need to be maintained to
allow
the use of the "Renesis" frt hub , pulley and ignition
trigger wheel and to maintain pulley/belt
alignment.............
