Not sure that'll work without reworking the tank. Even just my idea of adding 1/4 to 3/8 inch of width to each panel at the peak will mean moving the peak like back so the angle of the front doesn't get too steep and look squashed. I need to just let it sit while I look at other things that need to be done.

On another note I stuck this engine in just to see. It's from a batch of parts I bought a few weeks ago. I like it but to be honest its a toss up looks-wise between it and a pan engine not to mention the pan is easier to keep sealed up.
