That is a good idea, Shirley, about the engine in Ruby, the Ghia. It is almost 
brand new. And if you will send me the Porsche engine, Dunc, I'll pop that 
booger in as soon as I get it.

I do think that it will go this way: Tomorrow, probably, I will pull the engine 
and take it up to Wayout where he says that he has all the tools to do 
machining and build. We will, at least, tear it down and as Will suggested, see 
what we have.

Then I will either build the new engine there, probably using the 90.5 pistons 
and cylinders, or take the parts and bus down to Chuck's and build it there the 
week before T@P.

I have to tell you guys that it fees really cool to have four engines offerred 
as loaners, not even counting the Ghia. Thanks y'all.

So, if I use the 90.5s and I have a 78.4 stroke, what will the new engine size 
be, and what is the formula, anyway? Multiply, add? I have a 1914, how do you 
get that number
