Are you going to build the exhaust for that reverse head?

Lol.

These are some sweet looking motors. I like seeing the different paint/polishing schemes. Its helping me pick a color scheme for my motor.

cavebear, in one of the pics, is that a distributor running off your cam shaft???

cavebear · « **Reply #79 on:** February 18, 2013, 12:30:07 PM »

Sure was. Distributor was from some kind of Fiat. Ran through a sleeve welded onto the valve cover and keyed directly into the camshaft. Worked perfectly but I got too paranoid about the bike falling over.

We did that same thing with the oil pumps (actually, a 289 V-8 Ford oil pump), driven by a 2:1 reduction gearbox for the mini-cars (3/4 midget racers) in the 1970s. It made for 12k RPM engines that tended to fill the top ends up with oil a little too much, so I think they probably choked off the flow somewhat after I left the area the next year.

The harder part will be the 180-degree tach cable!

Good ram-air approach!

davidtime · « **Reply #92 on:** July 04, 2013, 02:06:11 PM »

Once I get a good picture I will post mine but for now I'm keeping this handy. I think the engine is the best looking part of any bike.
