Anybody here got a copy of the M.E.C.A. journal that listed all the Fox engines? I need to identify an unususal one I just aquired. It has a sand-cast case, plain bearing crank, displaces somewhere between .29 and .35 (same bore as the classic .35 stunt engine), has a front intake with a small twin jet carb, and a round rear exhaust. It's ringed, with early Schnuerle porting without boost port.
If you can identify it, or are willing to sell me the MECA journals that will, let me know please!

Came out about 1980. It's a 36 and was available as an R/C or C/L type motor. Said to be made out of a project engine that he got from Rozelle and Fry that didn't pan out. The motor had in effect a C/L tank for a muffler that fit over that round rear exhaust. It was held tight by one inept set screw that would promply let go.
I ran 2 of them and they wern't world beaters and they are bone ugly to boot. They requires quite a bit of running in to get them top go a tank without overheating. The cranks on both of mine were tight in the case and requires a little polishing to get them freed up. Do make sure that you use a castor based fuel for this motor.
They turn up occassionally on the bay. Once a NIB example went for $80.00, that's more then I'd pay for it.
