I have seen the same type of damage to a CH801 with Watler Lomb 235 hp straight six cylinder engine. The owner removed the leading edge slats and installed VG's instead. Aircraft is at Can-Zac now. Buy a set of plans from Zenith so your rebuild will recieve factory support and parts. With plans you also get technical builder support. The CH801 is a bear to build....tougher to rebuild. The Lycombing 0-360 is the ideal engine for the CH801.
Congrats on starting the project, good luck on salvaging! I saw your comment about 'hard copy plans', none are available for the 801. The builder's books I received with the kit include quite a few drawings (blueprints), but key dimensions are purposefully omitted to prevent copycats.
