Thanks, John: That sounds perfect. I had a fairly large flat can motor for a GP-7 AF conversion I was going to do at one time, but I let it go with the shell when I sold that.
I'm going to order one of the AM motors. I didn't know they were even out there. The Sagami 2236 is a good motor but I feel it is underpowered because the engine is a little slow getting off the line.
