Its Almost Done

I had planned on finishing up the engine build today, but I ran into 2 problems.

1) The hot rod shop ran out of AN fittings, so I couldn't run the line from the left fuel rail to the right.

2) The push rods they sold me are the wrong length (despite measuring and giving them the proper length.
Anyway, I wanted to do something so I sat the intake and valve covers on the engine as a mock up to see how the end product will look. I am extremely happy with how it looks.

Why do you have a crotch rocket in your garage?

Its my roommate's Ninja. Its actually totaled. He was hit on it while going through an intersection. He was stopped at a light, it turned green, he went straight, a car turned left into him. He was ok, just bruised.

It's remarkably how many accidents happen immediately following a change of lights. Seems it's the time to be most attentive.

So how long until you remove the engine and strap it to a go-kart?

I just looked and no car in F1 history ever ran an engine with a displacement of 5L, much less stroked to 5.7L. While this is no F1 engine, I am not sure what kind of go-kart you expect this engine to fit in.

That bike has a 5.7L engine? No wonder it's wrecked.
