I fit the cowl today and put the finishing touches on the components. I really please with how everything went back together. I actually had a chance to redo a few items such as the oil cooler and sump vent that are better than the first time. I'm waiting on my mineral oil from Spruce and I will be ready to give it a fly.

Yes, I found the prop a soon as the snow melted.  I used my handheld gps (which was on board at the time) to find it.  Yes, I went with the whirlwind prop this time.  So far I like it.  I will say, the Sensenich was a little more fancy, and a little cheaper, but I really like the Whirlwind.

I ran up the engine today.  It sounds and feels better than the last one...maybe my imagination, but it sure felt and sounded good.
