This is a quote from an ad here:

Max1998 . Aug-10-02, 08:16 PM (CDT) . "Fox 35 s Brodak"

"For sale a Brodak modified Fox 35 stunt."

(That bold face is my own added emphasis.)

"Only bench run, starting with a APC 9-5 on 29% castor fuel. Close to being ready for a plane. Box, papers and muffler inc. Has hemi head and stuffer back plate as well as allen head fasteners. Asking 100.00 Canadian or maybe a trade?"

No one else questioned it, but I've never seen tuned-up engines in any Brodak catalog, so I'm asking here whether anyone ever heard of John getting into any kind of modification business?

John ordered some of these engines with the Hemi head and sold them that way. They were still stock engines with stock Fox parts, but were assembled that way at the Fox factory.

I believe that these engines also had the Fox "stuffer back plate"? They were sold at about the price of a standard Stunt .35... a deal if that is one's cup of tea.

See Ya
