Bruce,
Yes, I was considering this -- or a Stirling -- as I've long been a fan of
swash-plate mechanisms. However, the lack of an adapter to fit this to a
'39 Ford box is one stumbling block and I think I'd have to cut my hood to
fit the alternator (only a guesstimate). Also, no one makes a three carb
setup for it yet.
Ronnie Roadster has also told me that oversize rhomb-shaped rings are not
available from any of his regular sources, if I want to bore it out later.
