Got a california frame, blasted it veri-primed and eastwood chassis black. agr 12 to 1 steering box and all new suspension components. Also dabbling in electro-plating (zinc & zinc chromate), comes in handy.

More progress photos of Metco control arms and QA1 adjustable shocks. Went with all stainless pre bent brake lines and a 1/2" stainless prebent fuel line. Rearend is a Moser drop in housing with Moser axles.

Ahh, the heads. Originally I was going to use my #16 heads but decided to build a pump gas engine instead, so along came the 87cc E-heads which became 90cc after chamber massage. I spent alot of time on the pockets and short turns being cautious not to alter port shapes since they were not flowed. Next I honed the guides to size and gave the seats a four angle cut with our Serdi 4.0 (very nice machine) I then port matched my RPM manifold to the heads. The chambers, intake ports and pockets required alot of massaging. Valves are Ferrea 6000 series 2.11 intake and 1.700 exhaust, which I custom cut. These were bare heads.

This is a holley 850 that I picked  rebuilt and replated. Not quite factory but interesting anyway. The brake booster turned out pretty good though.
