Bob I remember the Thunderbolt G60 motor in the FSI catalog too. I also remember that catalog page became a blank page in the next couple of catalogs I received
I always wanted to get my hands on one of those.

Since we are discussing vintage motors has anyone checked out the pics Dale Windsor has on his website. (I looked but he doesn't have the Thunderbolt G60 posted there)
