Green Flames On A Bagger?

"The Motor"

The  Motor ( a true story) a good friend of mine was redoing a 58 PanHead, with all the latest and great parts of the time  STD heads etc, so I asked what he was going to do with his old parts he cheerfully sold them to me at a bargain and and i had some left over parts from other projects and a bottom end that my older brother had found me up in Indiana in some guys basement.we built this motor for about $750 and it ran!!!!!!



Specs
  • 1974 Shovelhead bottom end
  • 1958 Pan heads and cylinders
  • 1980 80" shovel pistons
  • S&S intake
  • 91 CV carb
  • Dyna S dual fire ignition

So as the story went with a little help with an adapt-o kit we got this thing together after making external oilers in the heads,milling the cylinders down so we TDC the thing actually ran and it ran good, unfortunately I sold the motor, but I still know where it is and he ain't used it yet maybe some day I'll get it back
