The previous owner was doing me a favor! Aero pistons FTW!

I have an idea rattling around in my head; we'll see how it plays out. Might even be cool when its all said and done.

Plan for the engine is to try and get 300-350 crank HP from the little 250 which means the stock cast iron cylinder head will need some work!

Starting with the frame/chassis and going from there
