Sorry, the piggy bank would only get up to 400 K pennies, then they would
go toward an aluminium FE side oiler block from Dove Mfg. (with MANY more
pennies slated for a set of cammer heads and related parts from the same
source) or to a Donovan block, or to an Indy RB Elephant block---No brand
prejudice here--just a preference for a block that will live more than 2 or
300 hours under load.

Regards, Greg

P.S.--could the vast mass of pennies involved be why the recommended
savings plan for a 409 included only nickels and dimes??? :-)
