Below is a post from 2005 that I found in the archives (http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp) that pretty much sums it up. I had always thought it was in line with the top of the top longeron, but I had to install my Corvair 2.375" below that if I wanted the fuel pump and intake manifolds to not protrude through the top of my cowling. Below is Jeff Scott's comment: >>The drawing I have from RR for their O-200 engine mount clearly states that the engine CL is 1 1/2" below the top longeron. In this case CL is drawn as the thrust line and references the top of the upper longeron in the drawing. Of course you'll probably see it clearly stated as something different on other drawings. From previous discussions that should be in the archives, you'll find that people have it all over the place, but nobody seems to notice any ill effects from it not being exactly according to any of the specs.<< Mark Langford, Huntsville, Alabama see KR2S project N56ML at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford email to N56ML "at" hiwaay.net --------------------------------------------------------------
