Hi Larry my kr2S has a 0200 mount it mounts at 290mm foorward of the firewall I am now using a type 4 vw from the vw engine centre it has a reduction drive and fuel injection all up weight is 97 kg with computer and all electrical gear starter and alternator. The balance of the engine is not at half the length of the engine it is at about 2/3rd's towards the front so that should help with c of g if the 0200 is nearly 240 pounds. I hope to have it installed with in 6 weeks and then do a weght and balance to see if it will work out before building a new mount! I have been asked about the distance on the kr2 as there is a guy wanting to put the same engine on a standard kr2 cheers Ross brisbane Australia fly...@hotmail.com
