And God bless you my freind. I know how much effort you have put into this to come up with a legal stock engine for us. To the point that it has affected your health.

Thank you Jim!

Sorry guys that I didn't get any lower units out a few weeks ago , but Jim does have 100 of them with him at the IMPBA nats. He also plans on running the 2 proto type engines. I will start on production of the prop shafts next. Unfortunately they will not work in the K&B. I will also start working on the inboard engine testing and a new carb idea. Good luck to those at the Nats.

It's been a long time comming. Your efforts are going to shake up the stock class for sure I'll definitely be buying one when it's available.

As fare as the Lawless I can't say, if they are tapped deep enough they will fit but you may have to shorten the flex shaft. As too the crank, well there are going to be many thearies about is bigger better. My personal thought is that getting the crank bore to much larger than the bore of the carb might hurt more than do good. If I remember right, CMB down sized the crank bore at one point because they got to big. My self, with a stock K&B class had keep to the 12mm crank. The engines we are working with are running a 13mm .375 bore crank, about .020 smaller than my old Nova Rossi. The only way to tell is on a dino, I've always wanted to try out the different crank/carb bore combinations to test my thearies.

P.S. Their won't be a problem getting the lower units, if all looks good Jim said he was looking at order 500 engines the first go.

re: so I can beat dunny

Well, after a less than stellar showing at the 2004 NAMBA Nats beating dunny isn't all that hard to do.
