[Fot] 1300/1500

[Kas Kastner]

I would have agreed with everyone on the worthlessness of the 1500 years 
ago, but most of the problems were solved by changing the oil drilling in 
the crank & using the right oil pump.

  Lots about this in my Historical & Technical Guide pages 95 thru 105 and 
again more in the last book Racing & Winning pages 172 & 173 . Jerry Barker 
can do the crank job for you if you do not have the equipment.

It will rev and stay together and make a LOT of power but without the mods I 
detail you'll be lucky to get out of the parking lot.
