I am not familiar with this engine. It's a Fox .40. I've never known anyone who owned or used one of these. Comments from the Fox experts welcomed.

It is a good stunt engine. A little on the vibratory side, and VERY hard to get broken in, but is powerful and 4-2-4 breaks quite well. Most parts for it are still available from Fox mfg.

So, are you planning to bid on it?. I have also been looking and trying to decide if my Lew Wolard tuned one needs a stablemate or have I got enough stunt engines for now. My wife thinks that I have enough!! but I don't see how that is possible.

I only have three, one of which is still unrun.
I like them a lot despite the weight. Great "classic" stunt run.

so, is that a yes or a no? I wouldn't want to deprive your Humongous of its rightful powerplant

Divot Dick Fowler, mi amigo,,,,,
Such a deal I have for you!!! How bout a McCoy .40 series 21 for that Humongous??? It's a low mileage, driven by a little old lady, beauty that I can let you have for a mere fraction of it's real value, cause I like you!! I'll bring it to the swap meet next weekend and I know you'll just fall in love with it!! (I know you're already salivating, huh?)

Hey "LongStory".... Last time somebody said this to me it was a car salesman. Never did like that Yugo!

Series 21 heh... aren't they pretty big? Any guess as to the size divot one of these would make?

Looking forward to the next swap meet. Bring that beauty along.

As far as salivating.... I'm starting to do that occasionally... I think the folks here at the home call it drooling.

Later my man
