Going with a few up-grades as in a 4-1/2" stroke and a Timken bearing ...

'51 FL

"...in 1951. new style tank emblems ,chrome plated piston compression rings and rocker arms were machined with pushrod sockets. In mid 1951 the M-74B carb was introduced along with a larger diameter pinion shaft."
Interesting they referred to the 74c.i. engine as high compression, with 7:1 ratio; using a 3-31/32" stroke and 3-7/16" bore.
How big ya gonna go? Just upping the stroke to 4-1/2" gets 83.5"...

When I was building my Sportster I ended up moving from Chicago where the motor was being built to Phoenix. The builder said no probs he would crate it and ship it. I went to get it and got into this circular discussion with the dock forman. Me:" I want to inspect it before I sign for it", him: "I ain't bringing it down till you sign for it", repeat ad nauseam.

Finally I said screw it and signed, the crate was a lot like the one you have, pretty much bullet proof. Good thing too as it was marred and scratched to shit, but the motor was just fine...

[Dragstews]

Still digging, but did get one side off.
Was thinking I could get too the motor mount bolts, it's mounted down to a metal stand that tied into the crate...
The gen is in the way, going to pull off the other side in order to get to the two bolts that holds the gen on...

Funny that you said dat .. !!

Wasn't that long ago I was entertaining the thought of building a "Super Magnum"
Going to put it in the Speed-E-Shift bike ...
After mocking it up and sitting it down in the frame, I gave up the thought..
Being the deck height was .312" taller than the Kunck's, Pan's and Shovel's I would need to rise up the seat post in the frame.... Wasn't about to cut my frame up... No-Sir .... Screw dat !!!

[nuklhd]

are there any threads in the nut on that adjuster on the front egzawst?

[Dragstews]

Seats are sunk as deep as the SS Andrea Doria



Jugs are at .060" over ...
lifter/blocks are Use-able...



Looks pretty good in there..
Got a Sifton Crusader (107) cam in it...

[TriNortchopz]

Is that like one of those 'guess which one is not like the others'?

[Dragstews]

The heads tell the story bout what's going on with the tappet adjustment....

Be some work to do seats ...
