Hey! I want 'em! Ask me once I've rebuilt one though... but it's
a fine motor to drive and maintain. Not everyone was maximum
horsepower; to me, in 2008, horsepower isn't hard or mysterious
to make. I'm finding other things more interesting.

One near me, in good condition, went for $300, like an idiot I
low-balled it, I should have bid twice that. The distance-from-me
factor is a big deal!
