    Thanks, I'm hoping to have it running by this Saturday, its a tall order but I'm going for it. The engine actually did come with a mechanical fan, other than making a new shroud it fits pretty good. It was Shwanke motors who recommended to use the mechanical fan. I'm being pretty carfull with the paint, so far all we got is a few flywheel teeth marks on the lower part of the cowl from pulling the 348. I'm trying to work mostly from the front, I have my work belt off and t shirt untucked. For myself, if I work without fender covers, I learn not to touch the fender, if I put covers on, I can forget what I'm trying to protect.
