here is a crude layout scheme I have been
working on for my renesis/-6A using the existing cowl. (I'll make a new one
after it melts! :-) I think I'll have a radiator made, max. 15x18x2.5"
cross-flow. the stock oil cooler seems to fit across the front, probably a
bit lower than shown to improve airflow (it was easier to attach it here for the
time being). my other idea was a log exhaust plenum that somehow would
feed a muffler mounted below. I think this would be cheaper than buying
all those mandrel bent s/s pipes. this all began when I started to look
for an engine mount. using an asymmetric beam across the front mounts
makes the exhaust fit easier, and the short part on the cold side allows for the
big radiator area needed. I plan to keep the intake on the hot side,
since the optimal 18" runner reaches about to the center of the
engine.
I'm not sure why the oil pan plug is
forward. I haven't pulled the custom pan yet. perhaps it is just on
backwards. I could be a bigger capacity.
so, after your laughter cedes, any
comments? (yes, despite being a carpenter, I will get a metal mount
:-) what have I forgotten? kevin (but those
sheetrock screws go so fast!)
