Default Need advice on mounting gas engine.

Hi

My son came home from a garage sale, this last weekend, with a large dirty fibreglass fus and foam wing model. Initially I thought I would take it straight to the local dump but giving it more attention I decided that it was relatively easy to repair. The major damage was a badly smashed cowl with only one half salvagable. I have two problems in that I am not quite sure what model it is, although I think it might be an Extra 260 as it has/had a large eliptical air intake. The span is approximately 2M. The other problem is in regard to the engine mount. The main bulkhead is too far aft to take a normal mount and I notice that some ARF models of this type have some sort of box extension on which the mounting studs for the gas engine are bolted. Anybody got drawings or close up photos of this type of mount?

Thanks

Tony
