Dat ol' engine ...I believe that it is presently alongside the Save-A-Center corporate office on Jefferson Hiway across from Ochsner Clinic/Hospital. It is disassembled and I understood that it was to be fully restored in time for Louisiana Purchase celebrations, but it doesn't appear that will happen on time.
