There was some discussion about the GM iron duke engine after one appearedin Sport Aviation(?) in a Piet. There ought to be ton of these enginesavailable cheaply and with the proper cam direct drive should deliver areasonable amount of power. I'm very interested in this engine and plan topursue it futher when I get some other projects out of the way.Bob B.
