[SEL] Old trolly car engine

[Gene Waugh]

Ya know, Rick, I remember Arnie's description of this venture from when it
took place, and yes, I think that Arnie considered it to be that "BAD".
Which of course in "guy talk" is "GOOD"!!

Was it really that bad Arnie?!?  It was a Ford straight six and I had a 
bolted on seat, YOU had the 5 gallon bucket! :-)    BTW it was a Fairmont 
A6F3 and its now in new england, having been sold on ebay years ago.
