Excellent weekend, I started wiring the panel yesterday and got the engine hung today, it's getting closer!!
I used the written instructions found on this website for hanging the engine, had one helper (and one photographer) and we got the bolts in all 4 holes in about 45 minutes. A couple hours after that I had all four torqued and cotter-pinned, and the beer started to flow. N16GN is getting a 105 TTSN Lycoming IO360M1B with one mag and one LS1 ignition, Bendix injection, Superior Air forward facing cold air induction, Jihostroj prop governor for a Whirlwind 200RV prop, and SD8 backup alternator.
Life is good!!
Oh - for the record - the Casper Labs 90-degree oil filter adapter has about 1/16" clearance between the filter and the engine mount if you use the CH48108-1 oil filters, with no spacers on the adapter on the 360 block.
