Continuing the Winter Project

[Waco750F]

Okay, the seat should be here today and I'm finished with the "Winter Project" code-named Solstice.  The plan is to get a few miles on the bike, get the carbs cleaned/rejetted for the new pipe but I have yet to really evaluate the suspension.  I need to get that sorted out before moving to the next phase on the bike.

I've done some reading about 836 kits, 826 pistons, mild cams, port/polish the heads, etc.. But I do not have the tools or experience in building the 750; were it a 302, 289, or 351, it wouldn't be a problem.  I believe there may be a source in Austin that may do engine performance builds but, quite frankly, what good is power if you can't keep it on the ground?

Recommendations for piston/cc displacement, cams, valve train, and head service would be appreciated.

OK, I know we like to keep it in house, so to speak, but;

Head work, maybe pricier than some, be second to none.

The book is by an extremely knowledgeable person, especially with the earlier sohc bikes, and since not much was changed, this book should still give a wealth of info. The price is rather high, until you compare it to a set of intake manifolds!

Mike at JMR is probably considered in the top 5 of head porters for the 750. You might find the porting service cheaper elsewhere, but it isn't likely to be better. And he does different stages of porting, from a mild cleanup of casting marks and such, to very open ports. His CB puts out around 100 hp, rear wheel, last I knew.
