I want to see you build one of those!

Can I suggest a Corvette LS engine?
It's only illegal if you get caught.

If at first you don't succeed, use more lighter fluid

Maybe look at a subaru flat 4 engine with a turbo on it.
Strip that bitch down and you'd have some serious power to weight going on.

actually looking at Audi/VW 2.0T or TDI. It's a popular swap, plenty of power and they make installation kits. Plus I'm betting you can pick up a TDI engine real cheap right now

I like the easy-build exhaust. Just short, sweet and pure function. Also, the coolant  cross flow, using silent submarine technology, as stolen from the ruskies is exciting to to see exposed in a motorcycle format.

That is EJ Potter, also known as the "Michigan Madman". He used to run that bike at drag strips back in the 60s. I saw him run once at Grand Bend, Ontario. By then his hands were all scarred and knarley from his times off the bike. Quite the guy.

I really want to see the other side of that bike. lol. And that rear sprocket is monstrous. I'm sure it was probably hand made.

I can't imagine that exhaust allowing the engine to run very well, but it's brutally simple, which is awesome.
