the engine mountings had to be moved forward about 4". If I'd made different
brackets and lengthened the front prop instead (see other reply about prop
lengths) I'd still have had the engine mounts in the wrong place by 2". I
was, however, using RR engine plates on the V8, and maybe the V8 110 had
different engine plates as well.
