Linda, not quite 6 but close, I can remember wanting to put a larger engine in a snowmobile when I was 10 but my dad told me it would take a lot of engineering to make it work right...

Thanks Mike, been slacking for sure, work is getting in the way but I have a couple things I need to add to this thread.
