This is true I am not 49 years old, I have even worked on 3 Chrysler/Mopar Engine Assembly lines in my early 30s, and I have never heard of this engine. Very ahead of its time and well designed, too bad it wasn't cost effective the technology was good. Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me
