Default Engine too big for a Lanier Ultimate P

I was thinking to use the same engine as yours, but now I have the option to get a Saito 200 or 182. I think it would be more adequate than the other big twin. I do not have the kit yet, so I am not able to see at the plans. Could you please tell me how wide is the cowl at the middle (more or less). I am in Denmark, and I have to order the mayor things by e mail as we do not have a big market here, so it would be nice if you can help me to have an idea.
The Saito 182 is not so heavy, but I suspect it has less power than the Saito 180. On the other hand, the Saito 200 should have the same power as Saito 180 but weights more. That is my dilemma. Do you think it will balance well with your Saito 180 or it may need more weight in order to balance properly?

Thank you in advance.
