I remember now, it was some dude named Kris? he said it about BBs some thing about the angle of the heads some thing or other..

These days I dont know what is good or bad info, I get told so many different conflicting thing from so many people engine builders people on forms articles in magazines tv show car shows, most of the time it goes in one ear and out the other.

Ummm...pretty sure Kris has a roller in George.

As a company, they want to maintain their marketing schemes, but want the bikes to appeal to a new generation of riders. Seriously, that's really what's going on.

Damn...alright, thought he said something about it a couple days ago. I stand corrected.


Tex...I'd still like to see that thread though...just to inform myself.



Sorry for the highjack Duncan.

I fell head over heals in love with a bike thats long been lost to past, it was called a Quantum Liberty oh man so beautiful, when the deal turned it on it actually shook the dirt around the bike, the 4 of us just went "oh baby, how much"
I have some pics of it some place that I never scanned.

And i'll dig that thread up.
High jack over

Found it...and I think he was primarily talking about lift and solid rollers...and yes Paul, you're right about Kris' cam.

 

[havi]

makes sense, since the 400's head to block angle is the same as any Windsor.

 

[DNFXDLI]

Ok..cam specs are as follows:
224/232 duration @.050
.598/.609 lift
108 deg lobe separation
There is going to be a tie bar system added .

 

[DNFXDLI]

Just got an update from TMI....cam is being ground by Comp Cams and will probably arrive at the end of this week or early next week and he figures everything else will be ready to ship by the time the cam arrives.

Hehe...no...been working on the garages...I started on it but it ain't out yet.

 

[1985 Ford F-150]

Well mush and get that thing out of there instead of sleepin.

 

[LEB Ben]

Good to hear the update Duncan...hopefully no more hiccups.

 

[DNFXDLI]

The engine should be shipped out sometime next week....I might have it shipped to a US location and drive down to get it.

 

[1985 Ford F-150]

Sweet Duncan cant wait to see it in the truck. Have ya got the other motor out yet?

 

[DNFXDLI]

No...still been working on getting the garages organized....but that is nearly done, I'm hoping to be working on it this weekend and next week.

 

[dragogt]

Bah, your slow old man. Me thinks you need to drop ship it to my house.. I'll find a use for it.
