It's cramped cause he's got more room allocated for Oil Filters, IC and supporting fittings, than for the engine itself... try doing the same thing in a piston driven engine.... 
I don't really understand how you can call that a v-mount.. Maybe because the radiator sits at an angle, and it still forms a v... but to me that's a horizontal mount ...

Chuck.... THAT is why i'm broke!!
As far as it being a V-mount, Yes, the radiator is flipped and positioned into a V configuration with the I/C. You can vaguely see what i mean in the pic (enclosed) I used the space that i had... it's not really as craamped as it looks. pop a few Q/D fittings and a few couplers.... and whole unit comes out w/ enough room to have a picnic in front of the engine. (great for mid-project snacks!)
The lenses come with the original GT-C noses.
