Default Engine offset

I heard they offset the engine for P factor but never realized it was this much, looks to be an inch or two, the plenum halves are identical width, and I have a centered Skybolt bracket on the firewall, you can see in the photo the engine is angled to the starboard side. never mind the tape and black stuff along the edges, I was making a plenum gasket......

Default

Yeah, the back is twisted around pretty good. The prop is still in the center but with an extension, it is a little off too. It seems there is nothing square and straight about the FWF. Except for inside the engine!
