I had suggested this to my Father, actually. He's not an engineer type, so he told me to build it, and we'd try it out.

I have yet to get an engine that I can really do anything with, but we've got a genny head to run it on.

I'm thinking about how to really do this, which is part of the reason I'm interested in the design of Russ's engine. (The OP).

PS - How's that talk w/ the lawyer coming?
