I would be inclined to take Larry's advice. He knows a ton about these engines.

a couple updates, I have a new stock head on its way to Larry to work his magic. I have dropped parts off at Powder-Pro to be powder coated.

I am surprised that the frame has not been braced. With the potential of that engine plus the extended swingarm, I would be concerned about some unpleasant behavior under hard acceleration.

Where would the braces be? my friend never had any issues that I'm aware of. I did find a bent rear axle. But now its a little to late. The frame is now being powder coated, so it is what it is.

Thank you for the information, I will save it, as you can see the frame has already been powder coated. If I have any problems I will strip the frame and do some welding, the re powder coat.

Now that the engine is being done with a new MTC 1428 block with 10:5.1 compression. I also sent Larry a new transmission with a billet 2nd gear and back cut. While Larry is working on that I am polishing wheels and front suspension. Can anyone identify this rim? I would like another 8" wide, does anyone know where to find one? Here are pictures of before and after polish, little more to do before done.
