Now I can start planning the headers.  New stubs made from 304 stainless.

This is such a great project!! What skill!!
That 750 motor must feel like it went to heaven.

 Haven't done much with the motor itself yet.  I do have wiseco 836 pistons and carrillo rods waiting to go in.  I'm planning on sending the head to get guides, porting and seats cut for 33mm intake valves.  Debating how much to do on the bottom end, i.e. do I want undercut gears? Do I want to get a cam? Stock tensioners or upgrade to cyclex?  I want a little more than stock out of it, but it needs to be daily reliable.

Difficult balance to maintain. The motors are pretty stout, PeWe's big motor is an example of how far one can go, pretty impressive.

 Yeah, main thing I want is to not have to get into the motor because of a shifting issue or rattling chain right after getting finished.

 One down side to a frame swap is sometimes a simple job needs extra work.  Cylinder 3 needed some pie cuts to sneak past the frame.
