That took a heck of a shoehorn

ok so when i talked to AL HODGE he told me this engine was built for a guy that
was putting it in an air boat, well i think its a good match since it can get air and
its a boat..glad the guy backed out.
so i got my shoe horn out today and sliped it in, took the backrest loose on backseat
to gain alittle more room for this GOLIATH of an engine
and centered it on engine support bracket and its looking good. im think im not changing
the main drive gear back to what i started with when i first built it, im liking this lower gear because of the bigger hills i encounter and those nasty dunes.the muffler i just built will work, all has to be done is build a new header to match it..

Sorry to hear about your motor, but it sure is cool to see the damage when they come apart.
