Getting ready to install the engine on the Gee Bee. When I built the engine mount I used a mount ring from a BT 13. I bought all new mount hardware and vibration isolators from Dusters and Sprayers. The P&W manual doesn’t have much info on engine install as they consider it airframe related. Does anyone have manuals for a BT 13 or Beech 18 or anything that would show the details of the engine to mount install? A copy of those instructions would be very helpful! Thanks! Mac
