Frankenstein Motor Project

[meatball]

boost bottle on the intake mani would decrease crank compression? I thought the reeds were where the buck stops.

I need to get working on my stuff but have been lazy. Nice job on the intake and cases. I got lucky and my intake mani is already port matched and bored to 46 for the carb I just bought. Have you done much more reading?

I built up a Frankenstein motor and stitched it into the donor body of a Blaster. It had a 46mm with a Riva red pipe, it hit pretty hard for a non ported cyl. I did not bother porting it because I just built it to sell. I should consider buying some of those worthless X cases and build another one. I will have another donor square hull ready for transplant as soon as my roundie build up is done in a few weeks.

Your project is looking good Matt, it's always fun to make something out of a bunch of old parts.:woot:

I have indeed. Jennings is such a pessimist ass. :biggrin:

Well, me & Phill & Snackem were in the garage till 3 am. It's now 8:30, time to continue.:1244:
Phill is almost done with his ski. In fact, he was mostly drinking rather than working last night. arty:
I have my Frankenstein mostly together. I need to put an exhaust manifold on it and use the headbolts in my other engine. Note to stupid self: stock bolts should never be used with thicker aftermarket heads. :banghead:

I got to pull my other engine out of the hull, transfer the pipe, headbolts, and get going. :woot:

Stripped the threads? I did that 3 times until my dumb ass realized what I was doing. :shakes head:

 

[Matt_E]

Tell me you were able to use the hole without repair.


Tell me NOW

Today I went through all my crap and noticed that I have enough parts to put together a Frankenstein.

After I get my "Chucky" motor built I might have to assemble me a Fronkensteen. :biggthumpup:

 

[Phill]

We had that ski in water today....man it hits! I"m sure matt will have a few things to say about it. We even managed to skink it today so it looks like we get to go out tomorrow and make sure everything still works good:sneaky:

 

[Matt_E]

I'll post more details tomorrow - I am dead-tired.
Motor has some great power, I was very impressed. The carb needs some adjustment (done), so I'll take it out again tomorrow.

I got bilgepumps glued down. :soapbox:

 

[Snackem]

Bilge pumps? What do ya need those for?

 

[Matt_E]

I wonder.

 

[Phill]

Bilge pumps? What do ya need those for?

He only needs those if you are gonna be riding:haha:

 

[Matt_E]

What the hell??? Are we really both posting from the same house?

I could just get up and walk the twenty feet over to you, but yeah, real life conversation sucks.

 

[Matt_E]

Anyhow, that Riva carb came with a 115 pilot and 135 main (?). I lowered the pilot to 112.5.
