We went to Nova Scotia last week and went up the Maine Turnpike. Walt's shop is only a mile or so off the Gardiner exit so we stopped in for a short visit. Walt was assembling a "hot" one but stopped for a chat.

He likes to build warm 276's

Here is another on his test stand. Note the gas tank hanging over the engine. I think he uses this feature to regulate fuel pressure - raise it to the roof beams to increase pressure and lower to decrease pressure. LOL

Wish we could have stayed longer but had to cut across Maine to get to the coast and a seafood dinner. Walt is sure an interesting guy and a real gentleman.
