I'm no expert, but even from what little reading I've done, there are enoughsubstantial differences between the two engines to make identification easy.I'm sure a little time spent on the internet would produce pics of both. Ithink the first Scout was T powered, but from Bernards' writing about it, itsounds almost like he did it to prove the T should fly, NOT because it wasthe best engine.

Do you have your rings yet? Check the fit of the rings in the grooves - specs are in the OH manual. That may make the decision for you. M.
