May be he was building Cox engines one piece at a time like Johnny Cash's song about making a Cadillac?

Gives me a smile every time I hear it George.

Year's ago my daughter gave me a book put together by Johnny's son, more of a scrap book than anything else.

The lot came with a couple of orphaned .09 crankcases. I’m using these to clean up my collection. This TD .09 had drilled mounting holes. Now it has a new crankcase.

There was one new orphaned sportsman crankcase and rear intake. I put that to good use on a sportsman that had tool marks and otherwise ratty appearance.

Looks like there is a couple small cracks on the beat up Sportsman crankcase. New one looks nice.
