interesting stuff man!make sure to take pictures when your offering the engine into frame

The engine is being picked up this week. The guy also has a lot of other stuff like the loom, coils, rad, oil cooler etc so I will make an offer for them as well.
Today I did a bit more to the yokes I will be selling to fund this project:

I picked up the engine tonight and the frame needs a little trimming on some of the lugs, but first impression is that it will be snug, but will look like it is meant to be in that frame!

Awesome! Keep us updated with lots of pictures please :-). Very interested in this one. Good work!

Great news!
*hunts ebay for engines*

I noticed (when i had a good look round the original 1) the petrol tank needs quite a few mods to make it work & there were clearance issues with a few other things, i'll shoot down to BRM (who had it last) over the weekend & ask them.

I thought the tank would need a lot of modding, but that isnt too much of a problem. The Rc24 engine is quite tall.

Here is the engine:



A bit of work tomorrow and it should slide in the frame.

Will there be a lot of butchering involved to fit the 750 motor?

Also is it chain or gear? Seems a shame for some reason to fit a chain drive motor. Nevertheless, sounds a sweet project.

I know its a bit early but I got a set of RVF calipers that will be going for sale soon if your interested
