If you are mounting it behind the cockpit like Bell did you are also going to need to figure how to cool it as well. A functioning air scoop on the top won't cut it!
I purchased a fiberglass 1/2 cowling from Fiberglass Specialties (I have a lot of their stuff) and recently I found a guy selling the 1/2 cowl, exhaust, and wing fairings all in fiberglass. He also has the retro cockpit kit if your interested. .

I have a TF cockpit for it already. Thanks though.

I have been thinking about your cooling issue and thought I would share a piece of the plans to another of my projects waiting in the wings. The airplane in question is a Sopwith Baby, this particular design won the 1969 Scottish Nationals. one of the more interesting details is a cooling duct (see photos) running from the firewall to the bottom of the fuselage. Perhaps this will provide a little food for thought in your own situation?

For me I have not started. Still need to maiden a few planes before I jump on this.
TF Corsair
TF Staggerwing
TF Mentor
GP Seawind
H9 Hellcat
TF Texan Gold Kit
after I fly the above I should start on the P-39 I have. Hopefully by the end of this year I can start on it.

Thanks, I am sure you have some models I would love too! I think we wish we could have them all.
The last few months I have knocked out the following maidens
Hobbico Twinstar
GP Stearman PT-17
GP Fokker DR-1
TF Cessna 182(crash on 2nd flight 😢😩
H9 Cub
Will circle back here when I start the P-39.
