Basic rules.
1. horse goes in front of the cart.
2. Airframe first, engine second

Builders will consider several engines while construcitng the airframe.

Before committing to an airframe come up with the mission statement.

I agree, these are basic rules. Sometimes it's good to think outside
the box. Here we have a good engine that doesn't cost
an are and a leg, so why not design a plane around it rather than
design the engine to fit the plane?
