Looks like it will be one screaming buggy when you are done will. Cant wait to check it out. Van

I know ghost, I was going to try to make a solo trip up to Cinders for just the weekend so I could meet and hang out with you guys.

I will have to see about the Thanksgiving So Cal trip but thats always a hard time to go anywhere due to the holiday that it is. We shall see.

Well here we go day 1, removing engine to install new parts. First tear down on this type buggy so i label all wires, cables, hoses, youd be surprised what you foeget when your working on other stuff. Just makes assem. so much easier.

Going to rewrap the headers,using copper impregnated wrap,hopefully will last longer, then paint with wrap paint 1800 degree.

Match porting Fast Freddy's two piece manifold to match my new ported out head. The outside piece ill call the plenium the port are splayed towards the center. I will hold all opening to 32mm through both pieces. The manifold is made of better aluminium than the cylinder head,so a little harder to grinding. More pictures as i go along.Will

Watching with great anticipation. Cant wait to see the results. Van

Yeah Ghost. Good stuff. Should be a screamer.

Hi got that bad boy on the bench,ill have to weigh this engine, gotta be the heaviest 650 out there. Could not lift it by myself had to get help.

Pulled the clutch, really suprised how big it was for a 650, its in good shape even after all the abuse, i mean i beat this thing up big time and i caint belive how good it looks. Somebody on this site has a custom clutch on a 650,i went through the search engine and came up zip. So if you guys know who it is let me know. I could just replace the disc, resurface the pressure plate and flyweal and run it 2,3 more years.
