I reviewed a good bit of the thread, but I may have missed it, was there ever any interest in doing an aluminum version? I don’t need add’l room for cooling, but I would like to drop as much weight off the front as possible. Either way, it looks like this is the thing to do if the plan is to also cut the top of the core support so engine swaps can happen easily through the front, correct?

Thanks

Corflute - you can buy sheets of it at large hardware stores (eg. Bunnings in Australia)
