I don't know why I keep doing this.

But I'm going to stop.

Interesting.  The rules state OEM crankcase and head on OHV motors.  The rules also state that components made after 1955 and EXACT reproductions MAY be cosidered legal in vintage classes if they offer no competitive advantages.  More importantly it continues with "pre-installation approval by the contest board is required.  Tread carefully or tears may be shed.
Get off the stove Grandad.  You're too old to be riding the range.

Well,  I put my butt on my bike at each meet and that sure ain't no "competitve advantage".
