Default Engine box needed? Ace weeks special

I'm nearing completion of my 3rd Weeks Special, this one gets a gas engine (toc 3mm 52cc) the plans show a g38, quadra 42, or equivilent for engines, there is no mention of a an engine box, plans show engines bolted directly to firewall.
The 3mm TOC engine I have specs for an engine box for cooling airflow but I'm afraid it may set the position too far forward not sure what I'm going to do with it, this is my first gasser, Is it that the old school gassers didn't require that much cooling there for mount directly to firewall? Maybe use some standoff spacers or bulid a box I guess.
