   Very nice, but I would have liked to see a more detailed picture of the engine   
   because I'm not familiar with that one.  All in all, however, even a novice   
   can tell that many man hours and $$$ went into that project.  It's just what I   
   need to get higher up from the ground than I now enjoy in my Mark VIII.  (-:    
   Plus, I have to use 93 octane gas and it's back up to $4 a gallon again.
