Yes, but I thought I read somewhere where our motors were reffered to as "Fat-heads". I am wondering if anyone else had read this or if there was some other nickname. But thank you for your informative post.

Block-heads, now that makes sense. Twinkie just don't sound right for the 96ci.

I agree on that! Where does Twinkie come from?? There's nothing that looks like a twinkie. But changing Twin to twinkie. At least call them the Twins, but twinkie...Someone had to be stoned!!
