I heard that Jerry, of Northwest Connecting Rod fame, wanted a performance
waterboxer.  So, he built a 2.1 with solid lifters, an Engle 110 cam, and
dual 40 IDF Weber carbs.  All of these parts borrowed of course from the
type 1 parts bin.  I have never spoken to Jerry about this because I moved
from Seattle a good 8 years ago, but I heard it worked pretty good.
