2 Stroke Drag Bug (no, not Andrew Foldhazi)

That other thread mentioned the owner/builder had trouble joining <and resulting breaks in joints> between the cast iron cylinder to the intake and exhaust pipes... not unsurmountable issues in my book, Yamaha and Honda figured that out 50 years ago, but tough for the home builder.

If you look at the pics, he used a blower to inject the charge into the combustion chamber, piston port style without using transfer ports or needing to pressurize the crankcase.

I think the old GMC 2-stroke Diesels done the same way, weren't they? (BTW, little known fact that the first 'Jimmy' blowers used on top fuelers of the day came off these old 2-stroke GMC bus engines)
