    A motor can either be an electric motor or an internal combustion or steam engine.

    As an example I give you Motor Home.

    An engine on the other hand converts energy and thus excludes electric motors; engines are associated with internal combustion or steam. Electric motors convert electric power to motion.

    I thought we were gear heads, not motor heads?

    Ken I am sure enjoying your build!

    I guess a whole new glossary of terms would have to be adopted:

    No more motor boats, they would be engine boats.

    Same with the motor homes you mentioned.

    And, "I'm going to engine into town tonight."

    Ford Engine Sport parts.

    Chrysler guys would buy enpar speed equipment.

    A Harley would become an Engine Cycle.

    Ad nauseum...........

    See Ken, these threads kinda wander a little sometimes. Wait til the cats and Uncle Bobs pictures start showing up!!!!!!!
