I was gonna say he's in polk county IA we ought to pay him a visit. If it's who I'm thinking it is he was the looney that put the jet engines in that old Pulsar or MR2 awhile back.

there are also Shaft-Turbine engines.... it's what we use on helicopters. Has a big ole gearbox on the front end of it.
