Numbers don't mean much to me Greg. The pleasure of getting a seized engine out of a "lay down yard", stripping it down and restoring it is what I thrive on. I send them on their way when I get them running and go look for more. That's why none of the ones I'm restoring ATM look pretty, besides I like them in their "working clothes".
The reason I prefer open crank horizontals is that there is much more going on that is visible. Not just two flywheels spinning.
