Alright Dahlgren,  did you see the "+" sign after the 3.3?????  Geeeez,  I was

with my 60 ci motor ,  I will bang hats with you with hp per ci per dollar 
spent (that
includes, tools, shop, dyno time, etc), let the games begin...................

Joe (who does admit that going fast with garage parts is fun until you cant go 
any
faster) Amo
