We've made a new acquisition: XF-6 a 44ci looper. As I have been told it was owned at one point by Lon Stevens, but I do not think he was the original purchaser. The engine has probably been fired a couple times as again I have been told it was a "study motor" for Lon. The bore is completely standard across all bores. It does have evidence it saw fuel in it (minimal castor in some intake ports). Interestingly enough, the engine came with 5 NOS piston blanks and 4 new rods. I even have the original box the pistons were shipped from Stan to Lon Stevens. The plan as with the others is to restore to running condition. The only thing I don't have is a crank, everything is there. I am starting the build of FA-90 this weekend and FD-53 should be back home in a few weeks. Here are some pictures of the 44F.
