Thanks Jack. Does anyone down your way know if he is okay? Maybe out of the country? Or just doesn't want to be bothered by anyone now? If someone knows or see's him, he can respond through my email (burgersandbeer@yahoo.com) if that is his preference. My project is, I purchased a Racal Diesel large bed trike a few years ago. Besides all the trouble, I love it. I just had my second engine fall out of it mainly due to vibration. A friend told me he saw a guy put in a 660 engine & trannie. After getting the trike to s shop and gutting it, I did some measuring. I believe it will work. Now just need to know which is best engine for it, 9 or 12 valve? Willing to pay him for his guidance. Again my thanks for any info.
