Supercharged Aircooled Westy?

> Let the flaming commence!

I should think the flaming will commence on the first long drive on a hot
day.
If you think ahead, you could rig up a BBQ grill where the engine lid is
now, and have steaks, hotdogs, etc. ready to go. Maybe even do marshmellows
on the dipstick!!

Nothing that the proper fire extinguisher couldn't take care of, though.
