Really nice work! Melting and casting aluminum is yet another skill set you have mastered. I like your design philosophy, I had a Guzzi powered JZR with an electric reverse and engines with perfect primary balance make life much easier. I really wish Morgan had used a 1400 cc Guzzi motor instead of a 56 degree Xwedge that needed the compensator lash up that we live with.
Good job!
Thanks, I have far from mastered the casting process. The JZR is cool looking for sure, They are scarce nowadays though. The guzzi is a good engine and seems pretty common in the "classic" style builds. I absolutely didn't want an electric reverse, especially with the terrain and weather around here.
I honestly believe the Morgan setup would work in my application because of the smooth pulses of the BMW Boxer engine. If I had access to one I would love to fit it up just to see how well it does in comparison. With my design intermediate housing it's simple enough to experiment with.
I have the CNC files almost ready for the transfer case, and will hopefully get them started this weekend. Gotta keep the wife and kiddos happy too though lol.
