Also....are the Magnum .52 4 strokers going to be enough for this bird????

Thoughts?????

Would the .70 4 strokes fit??? ? I see that the firewall is already drilled/tapped with the firewall bolts/stays in there for the engine mount(s)


Will a .70 fit the .52 4stroke mount WITH THE CENTER LINE STILL CENTER OF THE COWEL????????

I have installed OS .70 fs's in my Comet. Fit fine. You shouldn't have a problem with the .52 engines, since that's what the manufacturer recommends, it's just that I had the 70's already. All model engines with beam mounts are made so that the bottom of the mounting flange is on the crankshaft centerline. That won't change with the size of engine, it's just a matter of having enough room from firewall to prop face, and around the cylinder head.
