Porterfield found the engine for 26 and tried to trade. Nope. I bought 3 from Bill and later bought the engine for # 26 and tried to trade. Nope. I then put 26 engine in 3 figuring someday people would come to their senses.... I think William just didn't want this long story added to this thread.
Thanks Charley that’s exactly what I was looking for. Just simply enjoy hearing the history on these special automobiles.

William made a wrong assumption of my intentions of wanting to hear alittle history on how this motor ended up in a basement in the state I happen to live in. There’s many ways to word things and the way he worded his response was very arrogant and out of character for this site.
