My main doubt is the more photos of people builds I look at the more seem to have the engine skewed

If anyone could agree or disagree that would be great!

Argument was about angle of u/j's in the prop but you would need a center bearing anyway.

Ross you can just use a 2 UJ prop setup with the UJ's 90 degrees out of phase, no need for a centre bearing. You only tend to use a centre bearing when you have 3 UJ's in the proshaft as you need the centre bearing to support the centre UJ otherwise it would be free move in free space.

Sorry I'm confused, what argument?

Yeah I thought that but I thought it was a bit long for a single prop?

Few exhaust clearance pics



That's looking straight at the side



That's looking straight down the axis of the exhaust ports



And that's a ruler coming straight out of the port



Hopefully I might be able to drop the engine down a tad more, just waiting on AB performance to give me some sump dimensions

Well spoke to AB performance today, real nice chap with some good ideas backed up with some good evidence,

So I've moved it again, haha

Think I've got clearance around everything that I need to have

So Tatley off the haynes forum who lives not to far from me has kindly lent me his body work so I can mock things up



Looking a bit like a car!



There's a bit of clearance over the top, this is saturn body work but I'm holding that the exquinox may be has a bit more

I believe the Equinox scuttle and nosecone come up taller - i can measure mine this evening and post some pics if it helps? Actually, now that i've got my engine mounts done, it's about time that I do what you have anyway!

yes if you wouldn't mind, that would be great
