So, my Holton would be an Cadillac 508 V8, the biggest of all big-blocks. And an Eb Monster Bass would be a Jaguar 4.2-liter fixed-head six. And the 621 F tuba would be a 2.3-L Subaru flat four. That ultra-tiny Graslitz F we saw a couple of years ago at the Army conference would be a Volkswagen 36-horse flat four from a 60's bug.

Then we could argue unto the ends of the earth about whether a smaller engine at higher RPM's was better than a bigger engine at low RPM's, and the relative value of torque and horsepower, like the motorheads do (even on motorhome forums). I'm not sure we are getting anywhere, heh, heh.
