Haven't had time to do much with that yet. Still waiting to get them back from the fabricator who needs them to intergrate bed side mounts.

Nice.
Any idea on what they weight is?

Re: Race motor coming together

in your build, did you get your cylinders cross honed for oil or did you omit that part to get better power? My builder mentioned it and I went with reliability and longevity. I had never considered it before....

Re: Race motor coming together

I will do a side by side comparison as soon as I remove the old motor. I'm figuring rougly 125-150 lbs if you factor in cast iron heads, block and exhaust manifold.

The front end is shedding considerable weight as the radiator is in the bed, lightweight fiberglass fenders, carbon fiber hood, skelontized hood support, plastic fenderwells, alluminum motor.

Nice.

I'm not sure. I would have to ask Victory Machine in San Jose about that one.

looking pretty good Adam, would be neat to hear it run once it is all together, bet that thing is going to haul some serious ass.

Let's hope the motor was assembled correctly. We'll know for sure on the engine dyno.
