I am going to put that in Cylinder # 4 for extra torque on the big hills around Fredericksburg :mrgreen:
It's out of a Locomotive Diesel engine. It actually came as part of the deal for the buggy :beer:

My son came home fron TSTC for the evening to help with the assembly. He was still at it at 3:30am this morning when I got up for work. Its now sitting on the wheels. I also did some more assembly on the temporary motor.Lee was going to put the last coat of paint on the hood later this morning before he goes back to Waco.
