    It's not finalized yet but looks like I will soon be the owner
    of a ex pro stock motor with a blown gearbox and cases for the right price :-)
    It will be turned into the street motor for my zephyr build...
    The head alone started out as a eddie Lawson eight plug head and that is before
    it was turned into something that can make well over 240 hp in race trim.....
    I am told it is the best kwaka based head in Australia before they turned to after market heads....
    The rest is the same spec, the cases and box need to go in the bin but the multi stage, falicon crank
    1500 bigblock are still all fresh from its last rebuild, same with head...
    Don't think I can use the 44 mm lectrons on the street tho :-)
    It won't be to hard to transform it into a smaller cam (still over 400lift but the 500+ lift cams in it were still making
    power and torque over 11500 rpm on the dyno) and lower comp motor (just on or just under 10:1)

    So the plot thickens...... Have been talking to the engine builder and found out the specs..... I'm still buying it, but we are looking at the work I need to do to street it...... Having a look though the week, there is a bloke building a very similar motor very interested in the whole motor for his build...... He has a head ready to go that prob flows only just over 30% less than this, it won't need new valve springs and resealing where the ports crest into the bucket reliefs every 6 mths ..... Not nearly as much fun I know but still a 170-180 hp motor with well well over 100 ft pound that I prob will fettle in house with some tricks..... Revving to under 10k on 91 Ron it should be interesting.... I don't mind all the machine work I needed to match the parts together but hate the on going maintenance to get it to live at highe kms..... Valve springs alone $300+ replaced like oil... I thought of keeping it for racing in comp bike but if I go racing I really want to do a blown injected bike like the one I'm building

    Progress on front mount... Little bit of a mind fuck, all bends are on complex angles
    therefore all those copes are complex angled. This mount also needs a removable mount
    and clear both the tank and blower. Hopefully tonight a get a run at machining the mount.

    Excellent work Lynton. A perfectly symetrical creation like that is a serious skill mate.

    Amazing work Lynton, love the workshop pictures as well. Serious tool and space envy lol
    If you don't mind me asking, why the BOV between the charger and the head? There's no butterfly valves between the head and the charger to create a sudden spike is there? Or are you just going to use it a pressure safety valve to safe guard an over boosting situation?
