Wow... thank you for all the kind words. I am happy and proud that our friend Scott is the present custodian of this fine engine.
To this day I have never forgotten the feeling that came with removing the cover from the crate the day it arrived.
And...lol... I'm not just tall. I'm big... and this engine in that photo makes me look a little thinner. I am sure Scott understood this the moment he saw first hand how wide it is!
