Finally got my finger out and made a start on the chassis..!!! Yay.!
I got the steel through work as only cost me just over 50quid
So well happy with that, just that I've been working away for a few weeks and then at weekends had no energy to do anything. But now I have started I should have a bit of motivation to get on with it now it's taking shape (sorry for the rubbish phone pics)..
But here's the beasty that's gonna power it..
Cost me £75 with the gearbox but no dizzy, guy that sold it to me said it was an old 12A as it had the Nikki carb and manifold. I got home and found out it was a 13B but someone had got an adapter plate to use that carb and manifold so I was happy with that. I later found a 12A and got it for £25 with a dizzy so got it just for that.
I've since made a little test bed for it so I can run and set it up, not gonna keep this carb, a 48DCOE is going on it later or maybe a set of 34/36mm bike carbs depending on how easy it is to set them up.
As it's an old '85(ish) FB motor they were supposed to push out about 120 horses but with a free flowing exhaust and a weber you get about 180. But this bad boy has had a bit of flow work done so hoping for either a street port (200hp) or even better a bridge port (250hp) should make for an interesting little screamer
