Default RE: 1/5 piper engine?

Ok , thanks for the advice gents. Went to to the LHS with fairly firm intentions of getting a 4 stroke 65. After lengthy conversation went with a 2 stroke evolution 60. Now am being challenged mounting it. Have knocked out blind nuts, and need to glue dowls in there. Made pattern for the 60 but doesn't fit easy.9 oclk mount is above firewall. 12 oclk almost entire thing is going to stick out of cowl. 6 oclk mounts to high on firewall. Is cutting mount down and drilling new holes in it a bad idea? also maybe i should get pitts muffler before deciding.Thinking new motor mount is the answer. Will be going back to LHS soon with firewall, engine, and my mounting pattern.By the way i'm getting close to finishing 2nd wing section.Will need to get back to the fuslage and this is step one .
PS: What's "BOL"? build out loud?
Thanks
