Something that would be street level for everyday use and prob premium gas level, if you do I will call or email you
Still picking parts for the project. I think I am going with high compression pistons and now am wondering the pros and cons of using ported and polished heads on a street everyday driver. I am going with Seans jet kit and it will have the hindle completion plus old style exhaust on it. just looking for input on the heads.
I wouldn't do any engine without port matching. There is lots to clean up as far as casting flaws too. To have the heads professionally ported and polished? I don't see the value for the street. I talked to Dale Walker not to long ago. He wasn't even interested in doing a vmax head set. It would be super expensive he said. He did give some great tips though. Not changing the port shape yourself was one.

Got a mixed set of rods there?
Duh, I didn't even notice the piston lol. The larger piston has the newer Y26 rods. Supposedly more desirable.
Well last winters project ended up being this winter project. Hunted and scrounged for parts all last winter and the the summer. So its coming along with this update.
Using a 96 vmax frame with a 2000 venture swing arm with a venture final drive that had the shock bolt hole in it already, yes the swingarm fits fits and is 1 1/2 longer and way stronger because of the mono shock that was on it. I had to make bushings for the swing arm bolts as the venture has heavier bearings with bigger bolts, so I kept the venture bearings in the swingarm. Its wider to so looks like it doesn't have to be notched. I need to weld the right shock bolt on and will be mounting progressive shocks on the rear and progressive springs in the front forks.
Building a 1300 venture motor with high compression ross pistons, max speed I beam rods and venture crankshaft that have been balanced by a local engine builder. Heads have been ported and polished professionally and the valves have been done on a serti valve machine by JR,s out of Florida, valves springs have been changed out also with kibble white springs. Mains in the block have been drilled per Seans instructions. It has the Morely HD oil kit and will have his jet kit with the modified air box. Thanks Sean for all the parts and help! It will also be sporting and ignitech TCI.
It will have the old style Hingle exhaust if I can get it to fit with all the mods. Also frame braces will be added before the frame is powder coated. Gas tank will get red coated after a good cleaing.
.Transmission was undercut by APE. I kept the vmax gears, and updated the shifter segment. R1 front wheel that has the disc brake boss machinged down so it fits in the front forks with brake pots, and Kossman vmax rear wheel and radial tires front and rear. Bussa pots on the front for brakes and again using Seans brackets to mount them. That's what I have going now and more to come.
I think I will name it the money pit :rofl_200:
