I'm guessing that would be the one on the left with the single central flywheel!

That one would be my first choice anyway!!!

Bruce, you realize dangling such beauties in front of this bunch is just not right...any one of us would love either and YOU have both.

Personal favorite is the single flywheel version on the left just cuz it's different!!!

If we are picking favourites then i would also have to go for the left one with the single flywheel.  ;)

Both top-notch engines, Bruce. You've built two very desirable machines, and they display your skill. Thanks for the video!

Awesome Bruce.

I am VERY interested if you decide to part with either of them.

Your creations are just awesome. Would look great next to my other SPS Creation. 🤠
