That's why I said what I did. The originators did not want "F" motors. And 
remember they are Vintage. Engines and cars No Eslingers, Geretes, Fontanas, 
Sesco's, VW's, Mopars, etc..Bring on the Evinrudes, and all the rest. I've seen 
one of the mini-arduns. As long as they fir the proper CI rules....
