I have a French engine in my Universal and boy does she fly! Last Race to the Bridge in Arnhem we were clocked at 40 Mph trying to keep up with the rest, mainly Jeeps. Had a crew of 10 and a 6 Pounder on tow. Mind you, I did blow a gasket and spray engine coulant all over. My own fault off course. Still need to get my speedo and temperature gauge working.....

Cheers,
