What did you build Bill?

Well....it's a two cylinder engine with one Konig carb, a rotary valve, and two pipes. Started with a blown-up fast 350cc 4 cylinder Konig. Cut the engine in two a little below #1/2 and above #3/4 cyliners, made up special mounting blocks and water jacket plates. Exhaust elbows required modification from two to one. I think it came out as they said in your time..... KOOL!!
Tim if you can, give Brad some help this weekend.
Thanks Bill

Great job let us know how it runs.

Won't be in Wisconsin, but will be in Minnesota. Brad and I seem to pit close by anyhow. I tried to drive a similar motor built by Stan Leavendusky, Sr. some time ago. It was half a D that he cut down into a B. Never got a ride in it as every time we started it, it broke the rotary valve belt. Don't know why.
