There's quite a few of us been discussing this at local TSSC meetings. None
of us really wants one of these engines, but we all want to know how they've
done it. Apparently, the project ISN'T linked to the large capacity engine
built by JK! As someone who dislikes the character of the 1500 engine, I
hate to think that they might have increased the stroke,
        Cheers,
                Bill.
