Front bearing is machined into the hub on both the Great Plains and Revmaster. I still recommend that you contact both of these to get answers you are looking for. Joe Horvath and Marty will surely be glad to assist you. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics? 2015 KR Gather

VW auto users consider it the "wrong end," but the overwhelming number of aircraft that use the VW engine have done it this way, ever since the original Volksplane (which i think was the first VW powered plane). If you do it the other way, the bolt holes on the crankcase wind up on the "wrong end"
