Keep up the good input!

I made an attempt to cover modification of an existing two stroke.  That was not the focus of the article, but I wanted to at least mention it. 

I am not a two stroke expert like some of you folks.  I am always reluctant about writing an article where I don't have first hand knowledge or can't make a strong contribution. 

If someone (or several folks) would like to feed me good two stroke information, I would be willing to try to put the words to it.

Clifford, I had forgotten about Mel's conversion.  I heard that quite some time ago SOD was not going to do conversions, but made an exception for Bill Pratt.  I wanted to mention them in my article, since they do good work and have a good reputation, but I keep hearing that they don't want to do any more of that kind of work.

Jim, SOD has done a 1/2 dozen I know of after Pratts.
David would like to do engine conversions but Dennis is not going to let that happen  being burned on a couple from some folks he told me that is not going to happen anymore.  
He will make a exception if he knows you I was speaking with him about doing a Cummins for a friend as I don't want to fool with it.
B&B is going to do this one Gary was cheap for the labor, another friend is pulling his 50 series and installing a C-12 Cat as far as I know Sonnie is going to do that one  


good luck

Jim,

Get Don Fairchild and Clifford involed, between them you should have more than enough. I'm sure there are a couple of others out there, just don't know them as well. Post it and wait for the results. It would make a good article, you could be the go between.

I know you would get lots of read on that one, lots of two strokers out there.
