so i just moved to a small town in north eastern ontario and was introduced to some of my neibours. turns out one of them is a 75 year old gentle man who collects engines of all sorts so he takes me for a tour of his collection. turns out he has two 3350 turbo compounds in the can new refurbished another indoors with the top of the can removed and a fourth out side kinda smashed up!
