Gentlemen! I appreciate the replies on the engine ideas.

As much as I would love to talk engines here, it's making the original reason for this thread too far off topic. I take blame for being a part of it.

My original question of using a Brownie and the resulting high pinion rpm speeds has pretty much been answered from others sharing their experiences and more research I've done myself.

Lets move the engine stuff over to the "Engine Shop" or the "HiPo Shop" section of the forum (I'm still too new here to know for sure which sub-forum location would be best). I know such a thread would be super helpful to me, and I'm guessing it would be helpful to others as well. A thread like "A Poor Mans Diesel" for gasoline engines with a focus on low RPM and high torque building recipes. It doesn't mater if it's a inline 6 or V8. They all apply! I'm sure there are many here who already have something to contribute from earlier builds. As my project progresses, I'm happy to reveal the steps and parts I use in complete detail.

If a moderator could share which sub-forum would be best, I would be happy to start it!

I mean no disrespect, and I hope I haven't offended anyone with this post.
