[ARC5] ARC-2 on Ebay

[millerke6f at aol.com]

Off topic but!!  The only automobile engine I'm aware of that was able to stand up to a 24/7 max rpm load was the venerable Ford 427 high riser side oiler that whopped the Italian's at Lemans.  Great engine and nearly bullet proof.  Just a good old fashioned well built Detroit Push Rod V8.

"... that engine was never built to run at max rpm all day ... it blew up on him on his first trip. "

I pulled into a real truck stop and struck up a conversation with the driver of a Peterbuilt pullong an extra heavy load. Turned out he'd owned the thing since new and in all that time had replaced only the oil pump. 

"Yep a darn good truck. It JUST went out of warrantee. ONE MILLION MILES!"

Hooo boy, we really do know how to make those things.
