Well it’s not going to be TOO prettied up. The only thing getting painted is the frame and fender/tank. All the parts I’ve made are stainless and they’re staying exactly as they are. Burned and brown.
Like my e30 is. Finished but still somehow super grimy.
:tup:
hopefully this will get driven more than the e30
This is why I’m behind schedule. Spent several hours making a fancy stainless voltage regulator bracket that no one will ever see once installed.
I also pulled the motor last night to start rebuilding.
seems kind of thick to just hold a voltage regulator?
side note: punched holes are sweet.
It’s 7ga. I am sure I could have made it from 10ga and saved .006 lbs but I had the 7ga available. It’s also on quite a cantilever so the thickness isn’t hurting me.
Yeah I like punched holes too, but straightening the material out afterwards can get annoying.
Stock motor rebuild ?
With Turrrrrrrrbo
74" to 80" (3-31/32 stroke x 3.4375 bore to 4.25 x 3.5)
T&O Forged crank
Eagle rods
Wiseco 7:1
3 bolt STD heads w/ Full port/polish and external oil drains
New valves and stock lift springs
S&s High volume high pressure oil pump
Debating on stock cam vs Andrews 1 grind and if I should switch to solid lifters.
who’s doing your engine machine work?
Yea, I guess it’s going to vibrate a little bit.
But the turbo doesn’t go inside the motor…
lol I was just curious what route the internals were going.
I’m researching a similar project.
The only machine work it needs is a bore job. Probably klispie’s.
nice. I’m planning to go to O&L as he’s super familiar with motorcycle builds cause he does all the machine work for Big Ed’s and Empire Cycle.
After much searching, scored a set of these rare, discontinued bike pedals (made right here in NY) for a pretty penny.
Obviously it’s too big, so cad and cutting:
Now it’s about the size of a factory kicker pedal. Still have to make or modify the spindle.
Meanwhile people in the bike community are freaking out… sorta like when you cut up the Mtech bumper cover.
Dan
That was exactly my thought.
haha yea I cringed a bit when I saw it in the mill
I love when you cut up rare things.
I think modifying (or completely changing / repurposing) “rare” automotive things like this should be your niche. Like people who take WWII plane parts and turn them into furniture, etc.
