No, the 2F mounts are at the front of the motor, while the 1F mounts are more centered on the motor and higher up the block.
 
Is it ok to look at the pictures of that engine for long periods of time? Starting to feel a tad...well... strange i guess... Make room for the bus grog... i gatta touch that...
 
Took a flight up the morning to see what was cooking at @FJ60Cam shop.

A trip like this really makes this plane shine. It would probably be 10-11 hours via car. But we clipped along at around 200 mph and got a little over 12 mpg and made it in around 2:15.

Rotunda has a great spot under the Toyota sign. I have not seen the truck in almost a year so quite the progress has obviously occurred. Really like the direction this is headed.

We had lunch and I loaded up some bbq for the ride back to the airport in Cam’s sweet rig. Stopped and saw my mom on the way back and was still home in time for dinner.

You are going to have a tough time in the future, choosing which vehicle to take.
On the other hand, you don’t want to get those shiny engines dirty.

This one is definitely in the “kind of scared to drive it” category but I do live in the middle of nowhere. There will be plenty of backroad trips. My driveway occasionally requires four wheel drive too. Will be tough to keep spotless.
 
Rotunda looks awesome. Sweet plane also. I had the pleasure of flying in one a few years ago.
 
Very nice!

Seems that pretty engine needs something...

A Turbocharger, yeah, that's it, it needs a TURBO! :bounce::bounce2:
