This is my first experience with one. There's no parts available so I'm modifying what's out there. I'll fill everyone in once it's done.

I RAN 1 15 YEARS AGO. BEFORE THERE WAS ANY TYPE OF PARTS. RAN IT IN THE SUPER SPORTSMAN/BP CLASS. FINISHED IN THE TOP 5.

GET A CAM AND A FLAT TOP PISTON (I WELDED MINE FLAT. THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD NEVER WORK, RAN FOR 2 YEARS). NOW YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE A BILLET ALUMINUM FLYWHEEL.
BECAUSE OF THE RULES.

I'm running a fc420 I have 1" off the head into 1 1/4" and a 1 1/2" tip sounds really good I wanted 1 1/4 all the way but it was too difficult being the exhaust port on the bottom

Hopefully by tomorrow I'll have a stocker with an ARC aluminum flywheel. Finished (re)machining the hub tonight. I had a buddy attempt it but he didn't get the right taper. I finally got a 4 jaw independent chuck for my lathe and figured out the taper and used the combination feed to cut it. the taper matched but the hub sat too low on the crank. So I straight bored it another .125", made a sleeve, pressed it in (drilled a .375" hole and plug welded it in) and re-cut the taper. now to get the starter properly adjusted, rig a coil, set the timing and fire it up. Then onto getting a new piston and rod ready, shave and port the head and wait for the Isky cam to get here.
