Imagine: 4 - Mikuni BSW32's to tune and Sync!

Cornering could be an issue but strait lines would be a gas !

I'd like to post an update on this project. Please keep in mind: It is not my project (goes way beyond my capabilities). An it won't be for sale.
Just meant as eye-candy.

Enjoy.

It would be interesting to know how he went from 120 deg. firing to 90 deg. firing. Custom camshafts?? And how did he rework the crankshaft?? It's hard to tell how the crankcase was married up. Looks like really good work.

Millyard dumped the stock cooling system and went with electric water pump IIRC. I don't see how the stock cooling system will keep up...

Saying that, I fully respect and actually ADMIRE those who do this work..

Me? I'm dreading pulling the the top end of my 79 off for new gaskets. .Sigh.
