You got S&S's good stuff 😊
Hopefully Morgan didn't get to the ECU.
did it come with the factory cooling kit?
If not you should have a complete S&S motor with their best engine tuning!
Where in Florida are you ?

JVS, are you going to have it Dyno tuned? I hear a Powercomander 5 will work.

Well after almost 5 months The Carrot is back home.
Still in break-in mode for the next 500 miles
First impressions are the throttle response is so much better
This motor wants to rev up
The exhaust sound now that the baffels are all out.
Initial take off with more torque
Rocking of the motor with the new cams at idle
New look of the front of the motor with the clear crankcase
Spinning belt and orange cogs
More to come with some final pictures
Very pleased with the outcome and the work done by

Dennis Glavis sold a M3W new with the 128ci motor...I'm unsure if it was supplied from the factory that way (I'm 90% sure it was) but I recall it being an incredibly substantial "add on".
Look forward to seeing how you think it compares! It was supplied by the factory to a former member of TM with the 128ci motor, who then sold it through Dennis Utah. Do you know who bought it and does he post on TM?

I think if I was to do the build again, I would just buy the 132CI engine and do a swap and then sell the original motor to someone
Too much time and money spend upgrading the original Morgan Spec'ed engine

Actually I see no need for a stronger engine.
With a standard rear wheel it is hard to get the power to the ground without spinning.
Maybe a supersoft highgrip rear wheel would make a differnce.

Yes, the stock S&S with 121CI motor has more than enough power for this 3 wheeler. Just that some of us have a mental problem of when enough isn't enough 😊
I couldn't be happier spending what I earn hot rodding my toys and what a toy it is!
