the design is from the auto engine. In fact, Joe told me that th

bearings, cast case and mine is even setup for a constant speed prop. I
also have a Great Plains engine conversion which is restricted to wood
props only. The Great Plains engine is for sale (336) 977-3922.

I don't know who originated it, but I suspect it was GPASC. It is
likely mentioned on their website at www.gpasc.com , or at least
