Interesting move, Roy.
I'm assuming that if you'll have your engine in 3 weeks that the engine is already built, test run and in their existing inventory?
Are you doing other work to other engine compartment items while the engine is out?
Pictures???
It's always fun to watch projects as they unfold.

I'm assuming that the new engine has been test run and otherwise fully functional. I'll be following the recommended break in procedure to the letter.
The engine mounts and baffling will be replaced, and the firewall cleaned up -- that's the only other engine compartment work I'm planning. My mechanic offered to do some painting but I'm not big on appearances, so opted not to bother with that. While the plane is grounded I'm having the prop reworked and all new Plexiglas put in. I've got some work to do just now but I'll post some pictures shortly.
