I call this little vignette 'Kompis pris' Directly translated - 'Friends Price'. Doesn't sound right in English but if you are a Swede, then you will understand the joke behind it. The engine is an old Volvo engine I bought from a private sale. The kit had been partly built so I decided to make use of just the engine and scrape the rest. Engine the pics.

Nice detail on the engine, Charles. I really like it. Think any of those cylinders work?
