   RO-Jett 67LS. I am sure Todd will get back to you later with the details, I think he is driving now.

  67 Long Stroke, I think it is a 61 piston/liner with the 76 crank, or something like that. Header muffler, I am not sure of the source. This one is bar stock, I am not sure there is a cast-case version.

       These have been around a long time, they are one of the best large 4-2 break engines, probably better and certainly more powerful than a Discovery/Retro, way better than an ST46/60. I was told that it runs better than the 76, or, at least, it works as well or better with prop sizes you would actually want to use for stunt.

All right! Thanks Brett...
Juicy information.
That engine sounds like a dream and it is a real pleasure to "hear" that 4-2-4 sound competing at top level...I like it very much.
