A chance find on eBay and a lowball bid landed me with about 30% of an engine last month.
Now after some wheeling and dealing I've bagged about another big pile of engine bits.
The vendor seems to think that he has a set of crankcases, some carbs, and a couple of clutches yet to be found.
I reckon that with some diligence(and expense), I can build a running XT/SR engine out of this lot.
So the big question is what to put it in when it's finally built ?
I don't have a XT500 or SR500 rolling chassis to hand, and they seem to be fetching big money at present.
I'm thinking that maybe I could shoehorn the engine into a different frame.
But just what eludes me at present.
