Cub engine mounting
 

Hi all,
Just wondering how most of you have your engines mounted in your cub? I would like to mount mine with the cylinder head down at 45 Degree angle. To get the engine in line with the fire wall center line mark I will have to dremel out a small area of the left fire/fuse brace to get the engine mount to fit properly. Or I could just mount it 90 degree to the right and just drill holes. The marks on the firewall have the engine mount off set to the left side of the aircraft. I'm putting in a OS 60 FP

The majority of Cub models mount the engine ninety degrees with the engine protruding on the right side just like the full scale J-3 cub has the cylinders protruding horizontally on both sides.
