Getting the engine ready to move to the barn:  Testing installing without removing intakes:  Looks like it will work:  Installed! Thanks Todd, John, David and Jerry for all the help!  Today was camper top day: AJ came over with his bus as reference material and guided the process. It all went pretty smoothly. Jerry and John came over just in time to help finish it up and install it on the bus. Seal on:  Stapling canvas to top:  It is on:   Bottom being screwed to the body:   The end for the weekend:  Now to finish up all the small fiddly stuff related to the engine and top install. |

Next one?
What next one?
I think this is the last one.
If there is a next one it won't be this much of a project.

Mike, I think it would work. We put carbs on once engine was in engine bay on cart. Looked like there would have been room.

I can get dual Kadrons in the DC, butvery tight, jf you don't want to scratch stuff. It is doable.

Looks awsome!!!! Cant wait to see it at Martin. If you start having leakage from the cb performance breather box, Ive found that having a guy wleding it to the base works wonders. The cover never leaks but the base, kinda does. The exh looks downright sexy  |

Haha, thank Mike. We are pretty happy with it. Hope it is done in time to drive to the Bug Run.
Restrictive? Really? It seems huge to me. I think it will be fine.
It was this or a sidewinder. Only two I could find that would clear the hitch and be big enough for the engine.
I liked this one best. Hopefully by tomorrow we will get to hear it in action!
