 If my plane is representative then yes. It was built for a  Lycoming mount and my Corvair mount (built by WW) fit fine.

I made my decision to use a Corvair long after mounting my firewall with no problems.  The only change is you need a longer bolt on the engine mounts compared to the one Zenith specifies and provides with the kit.  I just unbolted my four mount points, cut the tack welds for the AN bolts and had a welder tack in four longer ones.  I use the William Wynne engine mount and he can tell you the bolt lengths (or just measure them when you get the engine mount).

  

 I am assuming the same would be true for the HDS.

Phil-

     The HDS firewall plans were set up for  a Rotax 912. Is the XL the same? I mean, were you able to lay everything out  including the firewall holes for the engine mount and the only difference was  the length of the mount bolts? 

     That would be a real bonus. I haven't  drilled the mount attachment holes- figured I'd wait until I got the mount and  drill to fit. I couldn't find any firewall bolt pattern information in either  the Corvair manual or on the WW website.

     Thanks for the info.

I'm using the JabiruUSA mount for the 3300 on mine.  I also have a 912 mount that came off a flying 601.  I asked Nick this question too.  It is probably in the archives.  His answer was to go ahead and drill it per plans so I could build the fueslage.  He had the ZAC supplied mounts in mind, of course. I did drill the holes then and it worked out fine for the JabiruUSA mount years later when I bought my engine and FWF.  Even though the JabiruUSA mount needed to be even more accurate than the 912 mount, it was.  Accurate placement of the holes in the firewall is the key.  The 912 mount has a plate at each corner that allows the builder to define the exact location of the holes in the mount too.  No problems.

I don't really know if the locations of the engine mounts for the HDS are the same as the XL, not having seen the HDS plans.

  

 When I laid out my XL firewall, it was clear to me that the locations of the engine mount bolts were not engine specific, since they align with the longerons and other bracing on the firewall.  I would suspect that to be the case with the HDS.
