I opened up the cowl flaps on the bottom and there is space between the firewall and cowl. However, no baffles. I should add some.

I really hate to cut into a nice looking cowl. They start looking more like bikinis than a cowl.

Another option is to use an inverted or upright (pitts?) muffler for those tight spaces. I used...

I use a third line to fuel & de-fuel the airplane. I find that while fueling it also floods the engine especially being inverted. Being all cowled in I can’t pinch the line so having a fuel cutoff...
