The link to your Motor Pool images isn't working for some reason. Do you have any good pics of M113 engines and engine compartments?

I"m working on a old Tamiya kit that has a goofy looking little engine in it and am wondering what I should do with it.

Tamiya kit is early gasoline powered M113. All later M113 variants were diesel powered. There were no photos of gasoline powered M113s in Rob's Motorpool, as US Army has retired this variant many years ago and I doubt Rob had any in his Motorpool.

That's what I was thinking but thought it was worth a try...

Thanks Pawel
