Thanks much, guys, for the info dump. Matt, yes I found the thread on your soft mount.

I ordered the engine and header, and left a message with ES to order the 40G pipe. I am guessing a 4.8v 1000 mah NiCd for ignition.

All this happened in the nick of time because recently I had been discussing the e-power option with Anthony R and was almost ready to commit. But I prefer gas by a longshot and am really looking forward to this project.

Update: I spoke with Mr. Skorepa this afternoon and he is whipping up a new batch of 40G's if anybody else wants one. Shipping next week.
