    Sedan 15AC engines

    Some Sedans were equipped with 165 hp Franklins under an STC from the Maine State Warden Service (I believe). Also don't forget Burl's 180 hp Lyc. STC.

    Fear of a Crash

    I suggest that over you trees look for hardwords, not softwoods. You'll probably slip right down thru softwoods, much less likely in hardwoods. 'Course be careful when you step out!
