I'm interested in knowing more about this engine. Internals, etc., etc. When they were made and what performance level.

Frank, the attachment is straight from the horse's mouth. While I would take the word "racing" with a grain of salt, the Jenne-Bruce engines are rare and interesting. Steve Pollock

Hi Steve :
Thanks for your efforts. One was sold on RC Groups yesterday for $50 . I wasn't the bidder.I wondered what the performance potential would be .
This helps.

Frank, I saw that ad, but I was too slow. That has to be the steal of a lifetime. Steve P.

The Jenno - Bruce engine's crankcase, backplate , head and NVA were made by Charley Bruce and Larry Jenno.
The crankshaft, drive washer, prop washer, nut, piston,rod, and cylinder were stock Fox .35 parts that Charley bought from fox manufacturing. I have one of the engines, and disassembled it. The only departure from stock parts were two holes that were drilled on the bypass side of the piston by Charley Bruce.
Mine is mounted on a plaque with 11 other Fox .35's of differing years. I also have a black Fox .35 anniversary model engine mounted there.

He also added a cooling fin to the cylinder. And it wasn't a "racing" engine as I understood it when I bought mine. It was supposed to be an improvement to the stock/standard Fox 35
Never got around to running mine and sold it NIB on Ebay for a small fortune! $$$

Charley Bruce made 1 each two bolt backplate version of his J-B fox and sold it to me a year later. Afterwards he wanted it back, and he traded me something for it. ( I've forgotten what !)
I have no idea what happened to that engine after Charley's death.
