Doug,
You are right I do have Bernie Kerr's engine, but I didn't get the exhaust system, and I plan to  recreate the intake to use a single butterfly throttle body.  Every thing takes time, but I am slightly ahead.

If I'm not mistaken Bob, didn't you buy Bernie Kerr's engine?  That should be much like an Eggenfelner  Subie FWF install since it right off the firewall of a flying 9A so "get-r-done" as they say!  My FWF came out of a Glastar and I have had to redo virtually everything (rads, intake, exhaust) due to differences in cowling, radiator placement, engine mount construction, etc. 
 
Have you ever been over to see Sam Hodges 9A installation?  It looks like he should have his first engine start this year so we might have three 9A's making rotary music in 2009! 
 
I just returned from a four month AWACS deployment to the island of Curacao so hope to get back after my project as soon as the hanger warms up a bit in Feb... 
 
Happy New Year!
