Panshovel project

[madmagnus]

Either way I giggit. I'm balls deep in drum hub research right now for my build, looking for the right twin-leading-shoe setup to graft to my project. Trying to get decent stopping power without battling the demand from the vintage race scene...

There is no way i would ride a foot clutch and no front brake, my balls are just to small.

When i bought this bike it had a rebuilt 77 cone shovel powerplant. nothing wrong with that but i really wanted a Pan or earlyshovel. Finally i found a Panshovel motor for sale here in Sweden.
Tore it down at arrival just to check status, turned out to be a good choise. Scavenge side if oilpump was missing a key so crankcase were flooded. lots of chips inside camchest that probably originated from the breather. cases was also mismatched, left case had been replaced with an aftermarket one and right side had been welded after generator ear broke.

I Sold the old cases and bought this set of House of Horsepower cases on Ebay insted, If numbers are correct it was casted 78 and are almost as new.
Replaced all case bearings and mounted a S&S breather but reused the rest of the internals.
Crank is a stock Pan, Andrews A grind cam, Hydraulic Rivera race lifters, Wiseco 9:1 Pistons and ported shovelheads.
I hope this will make a reliable engine with a little more hp when needed.

Yes it looks so good with that cam cover, same for me i can go out to my shop and just sit and look at my pan engine for hours and take a beer or two thats relaxing!

It was a 2003 Indian hub.


I'm with you on the the foot clutch and no front brake.

Finally got the engine back in the frame, lots of stuff left but i try to spend at least one hour a day on the bike.

Today i modified the front pulley with a splined spacer, i had to move it 3/4" further out to align with my -70 up transmission.
I know, i could have just used a pan tranny but i've seen to many blow up. This will be covered by a tin cover so it wont be spotted that easy.

Thank you all for your positive feedback, im sorry for not posting more frequent.

I was supposed to have my bike finished for Mooneyes Swedens custom event on March 5, but in the end they had to many bikes entering so there were no room for me. Since im in no hurry atm ive been helping a frend with som chopper mods.
Also i made lots of small, almost invisible changes to my bike and started to fabricate a new exhaust. This set will be my Streetlegal pipes i need for the vehicle inspection (every 2 years) there will probably be another wilder one later.
