Yeah, we have the RD-1C, and
originally talked with you at around 400, at take-off. We probably need to
talk further to make sure we don't over do it. Our horsepower will be
fairly easy to configure up or down, and as I said, I don't think we will be
cruising at WOT. Missed the EM3 notice, will call you
shortly.

Hi Greg,
450 HP OK? You know the published RD-1x specs which
I freely admit are educated best guesses. At 450 HP you are
the pioneer in totally new territory. BTW, I sent you several notices
about the EM3 you asked for but haven't heard from you. No sweat if you
decided to go a different route.

intercooler lines, block-off plates, throttle linkage mounts, fittings for
oil, water, etc. new pulleys, alternator mounts, coil mounts, and a host of
other stuff to make the engine work. The plate mount at the oil pan
did not match up exactly, along with the oil pickup, extensive modification
there. Had to build a separate mount at the flex plate to fit on the
dyno, because Tracy's was configured differently, but Tracy's will end up on
the final redrive setup. And on and on. We are very near
finishing the mount frame to adapt the engine to the dyno, and then all
hell will break loose. i will try to get a video up to show the first
runs, and charts when we are on dyno. The scoop was a major pain in
the a.., because of the mathematics, but will hopefully work well.
Either way, we feel it looks good......say, around 450 H.P. at take
off. O.K. Tracy???

Finally

for the engine. Scoop, radiator, oil cooler in place and pressure
tested.
