    Offenhauser was a hell of an aftermarket parts manufacturer in it day! The heads, and manifold are Offy, the block will be ford!
    Thought for the day: Some people are like Slinkies - not really good for anything but they're funny when they're pushed down the stairs. Also: Who picks up guide dog shit?

    Thats because AMF motorcycles (aka KAWASAKI) sorted out the evo engine just before it was sold back to HD

    I am with him on this.
    AMF has been head-on with Kawasaki Co. in almost every industry. From motorbikes, to bicycles, to robotics.
    So could you explain where they have co-operated?
