hmmm I sure hope you're right.... I figured my old motor to be about equal to a modern 90 hp.

I guess the gps will tell the story... I've pretty much decided not to mess with this particular j-rude... I'd like to get more power (of course) but I wand mpg's and I don't think an old crossfllow j-rude would be even as good as my crossflow merc???
