OK, here goes....
I'm collecting parts for a twin engine street/strip bike as a tribute to RC's Sorcerer.
The pic of that motor in "race bikes" thread here is the inspiration, and although I'm not building for Nitro, the engine layout is the basis for my build.
This WILL get driven on the street (of course not a daily driver...lol), as well as occasional squirts down the dragstrip and maybe even a few passes @ the Ohio Mile for some LSR racing!
So far I'm just mocking up the cases and getting driveline in position.
I'm picking up some cases this week to get started. An old friend came by this weekend with the blower for the project, an Eaton M90 from a T-bird Supercoupe.
My plan is big bore stroker. 70mm bore and CB900F cranks for 1064cc per motor.
Blower will mount low and under the manifold just like Sorcerer. External dry sump pump and alternator. Trans is a tossup between a Baker HD style or a Lenco 2 speed. i'm leaning toward the Lenco.
Rear cylinder will be reversed to keep intakes between motors.
I know I'm going to need a lot of advice when the actual engine build begins. i have lots of experience building solid motors and horsepower, just not on these motors.
For now, getting the motors in position (with cranks for engine phasing) will be the first step. Removing trans cases, building motor plates, primary chain passage that will also serve as mid motor support along with outer motor plates to keep motors stable and reduce deflection of cases and cranks.
Pics of this build will be updated on my Photobucket album
http://s1165.photobucket.com/albums/q583/choppersprocket/Twin%20CB750%20Project/So far just the blower pics as received. It will get polished and some mods to the outlet passages, Throttle body and associated sensors from MPFI small block Chevy, EFI via Megasquirt, dry sump by Moroso, GM alternator to keep things fired.
Ignition is undecided, might be via V-8 Magneto, might be electronic via MSD V-8 dizzy or coil on plug. The mag is a killer visual as the sorcerer pics show, as well as the fact that it doesn't draw current that the EFI system needs to function (had to add another battery to my friiend's 10.5 outlaw car due to large demands on the power supply/battery).
Lots of ideas but I think I have a fun project on my hands.
Any feedback is appreciated. This will be a true learning process from the git-go and I hope y'all enjoy watching it come together.
