Cal,
I did not mean to call the Muncie the hero of the day, there is always a possibility to get something better.
I wouldn't hesitate to use a Muncie when I get a cheap one.
I also wouldn't ever use cast pistons again, having lost two engines with them.
I know what you mean - you know what I mean.
I like your information pool about Muncies (and Webers, and ...)
