• 2 weeks ago we made the 5 hour drive to Chicago for the Jensen turbine
  
  Last Monday I headed to the big city to get a passport expedited
  
  And now today we drove 700 miles (11 hours of driving) for my dream engine!

  This one is getting to the upper limit at 150 pounds and the wooden crate just barely fit in the minivan at 48 inches long

• Nice (BIG) engine! Any larger, you'd need a flat bed truck!
