Just a few correction notes here
Sorry for straying off topic) Wayne Trivin's wonderful home built and hybrid engines were NEVER banned in AMA mouse race...they are still 100% legal to this day. What allowed their use in the first place was when some rule book artist got cute and had the AMA RULES changed to remove the word
production, from the statement, "must be a production engine". Then the door was opened to allow ANY manner of mods all the way up to complete home built purpose engines.
( Look under
NCLRA National Control Line Racing Association where Wayne's website has been preserved).

Iwill look later and if Ifind it Iwill post it. Wayne modified an engine (and he wasn't the only one) into a reedie to use in control line mouse racing until it was banned
