I wonder how much better it would run with an optima battery, hot cam, and a T-5

you are speaking  of the Jeep used in the film and not the plane..the Thnderbolt of limited production would do well with the set up ...them be an  ugly car front to rear...I love the starter on the plane...no battery..no air...remember the B&S lawn mowers with the wind up spring and press to start feature...great if in tune...horrible if you have a problem....lol

The first engine I ever re-built was one of those clock-spring B&S mowers. I cobbled up a mower from parts of three different mowers back in 1970, and the damn thing was still running when I swore off mowing lawns (hay fever) forever about 1998. It was a 22" rotary with a stamped steel deck from the 1950's so it was heavy gage stuff. I 

 

There wasn't a single new part in that engine except maybe points, plug & condensor. Even the gaskets I just spray painted & re-used.
