Modified Vintage Gas Engine In Motorcycle Streamliner?

Slopoke --

Caulkins is not building anything -- he's only asking questions  -- or replying to things he's never experienced.

Slopoke --

You're doing such a good job assessing the situation, and I've had a few drinks, looking at the certificates on the wall -- I'll just look in once in a while.

Stan.

Well now that you two mouthy f***s have shut up, I'll try to explain what has happened, not that you'll give a s**t.  #1  The guy that built these engines was seam to have fallen off the face of the earth.  No one can get me information on him.  #2  The parts bike that I thought I had scored didn't happen do to family memories on there end.  #3  I've searched high and low to find more junk but come up empty.  I only have 3 model years to work with, so parts aren't around.  #4  My dad was a F-17 belly tank, but that's bigger than I  want.  So now I am trying to work with what I already have, which dickpoke has already highjacked the thread I started on that.

So, FYYFF, have a nice day!

"I dought the person that needs this info has enough time to look at a car on the track."

I guess it was this comment (whatever it means) about an event, procedures, and place I don't think you've ever been caught my eye.

[Calkins]

Nevermind, I was trying to stand up for the SCTA guys.  That they won't always be able to catch mistakes with paperwork.

caulkins:  be bold...make a commitment and start racing...in my opinion only, you appear to be a theoretical racer... get focus and bring something...no offense, but stop bench racing, and commit...i have seen you building a thumper, then looking at a liner...get a grip and put your rubber down...or at least tell theses other racers that you are drifting,and looking for a home... most here are actually looking out for you...good luck and make a decision!

you have had so much good feedback, what more do you need?

[Stainless Two]

jst get 'r' done...

[Stainless Two]

next...

[McRat]

Yup.

Most the race is getting to the start line.  It gets easier from there.
Grab a helmet, leathers, and a rulebook, and show up.  

It can be intimidating and frustrating at first, but it's quite a ride ...

[Calkins]

Thanks guys.  Hopefully I can get past the first phase this fall, and see the salt!

Like everyone said, the streamliner probably isn't going to be an easy project.  I don't think it's going to happen.  I just can't find the right stuff.  I've already wasted a ton of money on all the info that I need for the motor, but without a motor I can't start and it won't go very fast.

Look forward to meeting you at speedweek!
