Keith,
One of my customers, Nick and Ken Smith, run a '29 Roadster out of their shop,
The Hot Rod Works, with a E motor on seven cylinders. The removed the last rod
and replaced it with a bob weight. Their plan for next year is to just get the
right stroke and 'Run on Eight'.
I can give you their phone number if you like!
