SOHC

You can buy a kit from the UK witch has all the castings, the hard part is the tappered flattend tube part, too much work realy

A set of Castel forks would be cool to, Harley and Brough used them

Thats a cool looking motor, if you could get an old Triumph Norton BSA ect pre unit gearbox with the clutch all you would need to do would be to make a front sproket for the end of the crank

I know a guy who has a willys engine, its under his bench, I could ask if he would part with it?

If anyone is having trobble with the CB radio side I might be able to help, it costs about $35 to get them changed to the new zealand frequencies.

it has a Cycleworks made in wellington exhaust system

Is that 4cylinder flathead a runner? is this going to be a compleat resto?, I like the rusty look There is a flathead v8 sitting under a few sheets ot tin outside at my place and it still turns over

I forgot to look, I will try to find it today

It even has a Coby on it

Yer all the load of the engine and trans bouncing up and down, the shaft would have been the only thing stopping it from crashing down onto the road, Would a GM trans fit?

Thats a nasty crack, I wouldn't try to fix it with those low temperature repair rods, the crack must have caused some misalignment and strain to make those metal flakes in the oil

Those Turbo brand mufflers have a nice sound, they are a straight thrugh glasspack but look like that ovel black muffler you have

Your alternator may over heat if it couldn't keep up

I saw segedins were selling bigger pulleys for slowing the alternator down, I thought one of the good things about alternators is they would charg at any speed? Some hot rods run them off the driveshaft

Mr green 154 Railside Ave Henderson Waitakere City Auckland (09) 6258000 Sorry I didn't say they start at $45, I have bought a few off them but they didn't seem to cost over $45 and I got quit a bit sealed battrey witch would have cost over $200 somewhere elce

Allsorts of brands, Excide, Repco, ect

Those sealed lead acid batterys last a long time, I found a place in auckland witch sells them for $45 each as they have been sitting at auto shops too long and they need to move them fast, they have a 12 month warranty.

I have lots of seemless tube if you need for your control arms?

Back pressure is a myth but pipe size and lenth is very important

I have allways wondered with Flowmaster and Spinntec they say it helps suck the gas out, I carn't see this happening or believe it, I think a Spinntec would be realy restrictive, same with a Suppertrapp.

Dose it have a Ricardo cylinder head? flat over the piston and tappering away over the valves,

Will it be like this when its running

Have you started making the extractors yet? I live your twin carb setup, dose it have 4 exhaust ports or 2? Might need to do some of this if you take the motor apart
