I am looking hard at the RB Concepts TM928 motor for my truck. I have
read (on the RB Concepts website) That it has no pull start. The
problem is, that my truck is an associated MGT, which has no means of
using a starter box, since the flywheel does not protrude through the
bottom of the chassis. I have been trying to find another means of
starting it, but have found none. Does anyone have any idea of how to
work around this? Will a pull starter from a TH728 fit it? Any info on
getting thisto work will be appreciated. Thank All...

Hmmm, I've heard these RB big blocks are a bit prone to over heating, also,
very expensive. Consider perhaps the Novarossi .28 - that's the most
powerful engine out (maybe not on paper, but all the quoted power outputs of
the cheaper engines are basically lies.). Or if you wanna save a few quid,
SH.28 Pro 6 port or STS .28 are both fine motors, and the K4.6 - not as
powerful, but ultra reliable and an absolute breeze to tune.

Which Novarossi motor line? I see a Novarossi Rex that is a .28, and
another that is a 3-port novarossi, made by novarossi.
Thanks. ..

The 3-port is less powerful I beleive, I'll get hold of the model name of
the one I'd had recommended....

TOP T528X is it I beleive, the 3 port is DAMN powerful, the 8 port is the
MOST powerful.

Is that one still made? I'm not having any luck finding it.

You could always try the Novarossi web site:
