You definitely need to contact Mistral Engines.  They are the closest =20=

to providing what you need.  And if you can install a non-=20
certificated engine, theirs is still the best way to go and they =20
would be happy to help you.  Contact Fran=E7ois Badoux at:

f.badoux@mistral-engines.com

I have one of their engines, but am not flying yet.  If you have any =20
further questions, I'll try to answer off-line.
