Hey, Tony-
This is a smart looking engine. What I like best about it is that you’ve nailed
the proportions very well-- this is the most important design consideration when
building a prototype IMO. One thing I saw that you might want to consider

tinkering around with all of Ben’s suggestions, it might be worth a looksee:-)
I look forward to progress pics!
JOHN
