Denny Graham,
Enjoyed your Midget experience post. I could have written the same words, time frame and all, except I had a driver. Changed my Kurtis 4 bar Offy to Chevy II. NEMA allowed 153",Hilborn, meth. Sold it to someone in IN. I'm on the Mass coast so I see these marine 181"s. Have one at 192" (offset ground crank). Setting up a 153" in a John Deere 400 garden tractor. One difference today: I envy your 38" waist. David
