James,
I like the engine mount and engine assembly looks like a good fit. By any chance did you weigh the engine before mounting it? From my limited research it does not seem as though there are very many of those engines, low time, on the open market. I talked with Teal and he said you can buy a long block new but I think he said it was something like $5.5k? I am not sure what his gearbox costs...
Keep those progress reports coming!
