Since its origins were my cowling, it's the same firewall shape as the RR KR2S plans call for, with an extra two inches added below for embedded NACA duct exits for cooling air. It's 28.75" from firewall to the back of the spinner backplate. Thrust line is 2.375" below the top longeron, which is pretty close to the best I could do with a Corvair engine and retain decent forward deck to spinner lines. His cowling has an extra inch added between the halves, so there is room for growth in that direction if somebody wanted it. This thing has more clearance all around the front than mine does though, and is designed to accept WW's front starter setup and 13" spinner.
