Tom,
I found several of the Thermo-king engines. They had main cap supports and 
steel cranks---a racing engine in disguise. The Crosley went the way of 
progress and the need for speed as they became harder to find the APBA let 
the Sunbeam Imp in the class. They were stronger, available and easier to 
work on. I then went to a bigger, faster class the old 150 ci. hydro. I used 
a Ford Falcon 144 ci.  This engine ran good at 7500 rpm but, wouldn't live 
much above that. That class let the Datsun 240 in and the Ford went away. Who 
says the good old days weren't good & fun.
