The early engine bay is slightly shorter towards the rear. Usually one takes the rear engine tin (the large one), of the newer engine and trim it shorter where it meets the engine. Then drill new holes for the 6mm mounting-screws. The whole rear piece then lives slightly closer towards the engine.
Staying Aircooled is so much nicer.
