Thanks everyone...I cut my hole in the cowl tonight,,,and i have plenty of room to fit up beside the cylinder head and tighten the nut like gjeffers suggested.. and yeah I should leave the cowl off to show off the purty motor lol ...you can get a pretty good deal for them through chief FYI!...
Going to break her in on a test stand tomorrow ...hopefully get 1 gallon through it then reinstall and make the maiden!!!

gjeffers ...Good luck with the maiden! keep us posted!
