Upshur's twin opposed cyl. engine
Jasonb:
It's tempting to build a version of the Upshur that is a bit closer to the Fairbanks Sheffield. Carve a crankcase and top cover from Aluminium, more finer fins to the cylinders, move the distributor to the top and hide it inside a dummy Mag and a bit more detail to the heads.

I have started to draw up an engine based on the old Springfield opposed twin but could be tempted to change track
Allan Ostling:
Brian, I have just returned from a 3-week drive to Santa Rosa CA and back to Phoenix. I hoped for some progress on your engine. Are you OK?
Brian Rupnow:
Yes Allen, I'm okay. I have been bitten by the "powder paint bug" and have been devoting my time to a powder paint booth and a sandblasting cabinet. By the time I have that sorted out, I will be quite happy to return to my unfinished engine, and attempt to get my other non running engines sorted out.---Brian
Allan Ostling:
Are you going to paint your engines that run, and sandblast those that don't?
Brian Rupnow:
Something like that.
