Depends on the price, weather and how much you like to drive......

Of course it was worth it. 🤠

Given that Jensen don't seem to offer these engines anymore i would say yes!

I only drove an hour for mine- i picked it up at Jensen personally. but I still might have driven 5 hrs if you can't buy them new. This particular engine needs a bigger boiler IMHO, but still fun for a short run.
Congrats.

I already knew it was worth it, any engine is worth a good drive  ;)  Just had to show my new toy  ;D

Anyway, midnight now and just made it back from a mini-vacation in Chicago, report soon and a video of the engine...
