I was a service manager at a cat dealership about a decade ago, and we sold a lot of those tcat 1000's used so I know there are still a bunch out there in sheds and garages with solid engines. Those engines were built pretty well. I'd probably do it to a Metro though, since it would be pretty much a tube chassis deal and the engines are Suzuki, it's only right. Lol. Then I wouldn't feel bad about cutting a Festy.

Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion. -
nope...plan on trying to do a setup like the harley engine in the Festy. Some fab work but I think it is totally doable. Engine rotates the right way to be connected to the Festy tranny. IIRC.Originally posted by Advancedynamix View Post"FLTG4LIFE" @FINALLEVEL , "PBH"

I like it. Have you seen the Lemons miata with the sled engine in it? I think it's set up like that. The smooth torque of a two stroke triple should be easy on the transmission. We have now officially jacked this thread. lol. Sorry.Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege.
