Hi Todd... No problem. Just an FYI, my holes were estimated based on the IL-230 and the using the Kolm aluminium standoff's for the engine mount. Also, if you notice, the exhausts come out at an angle and not straight down. So, you have to slide the engine in from the front and slide at an angle towards the back a little. It doesn't drop in straight down. I tried to get measurements as close to the center of the holes that I could. Obviously I would make small holes and trial fit from there. But, it looks like from the bottom/outside of the cowl, the holes seem to be aligned about 0.5" of the center line seam of the fuse. Pictures attached. Then from inside the cowl, the first hole looks to be about 3.5" from the firewall, and then they appear to be evenly spaced at about 3" apart. so, from first hole to second is 3" and second to third about 3".. so... first hole center to third hole center 6".
