What's the model number of the block I should look for...
Besides Tom's billet flywheel, what other part's (numbers) are reccomended and available for these motors... Carbs, Pistons, rod, Crank, Cam etc...?
Or is the Brigggs the better bet ?..parts availabilty, etc...??

OK...so now we have a flywheel and bearings for the rods...
Do you build and grind cams for these things...?
And back to the first question..What's the block numbers I should be looking for...?
I looked on Small Engine warehouse and they only listed a 6 and a 10 hp engine
Whats the number(s) for an AP legal block...?

We don't do cams. I don't know the numbers. Maybe one of the other guys knows.

The Tecumseh engine of choice is the TVM-195 this is the older 8 hp or the newer 8 hp TVM-220, which is also sold as a 10 hp. But because it is also labled as a 8hp it is legal. Just remove the 10hp sticker. The tecumseh motor is the faster of the A/P motors, The other being the 8hp briggs. Main reason is that many have been adapting much of the horizontal Tecumseh star race motor parts to run in the Tecumseh vertical motors. Parts are coming for both motors though. Arc guys are hard at work to accomodate all but it takes time. Sometimes more than any of us want. But good things come to those who wait!!!! As far as cams go to the guys at precision cams. they do a great job and tell them I sent ya.

ARC has the rod and flywheel to fit your motor, measure your wrist pin od you will need to know this when ordering a rod from arc. Precision cams can grind you any cam.
