Man, you WERE into the big buck engines! I had a few of the O.S.
4's....a 70, a 52, a 91, but my favorite engine is the YS 120 AC,
that is in my P-40.
Before I got the Kitfox bug, I was working on a Stinson Reliant, and
debated putting the O.S. 4-cylinder engine in it...then I got
sidetracked by the Kifox....
