Max IV Springer

[6X6]

Hey George, any "Hot Tips" on a nice 2-Stroke? Seriously, I think that Max IV will be SWWEEEETTTTT with that engine!

wow...

The plan is that it will have one big cushy, comfortable bench seat. And you're right, I plan on moving it back at least a foot.

Sorry, I just reread the thread and saw where you had already said this.

Thanks to a hot tip from George, I now have a power plant to move this big behemoth anywhere it wants to go. Drove all the way out to the Imperial Sand Dunes to meet the guy from CA to pick it up this morning. It's built by Al @ Performance V-Twins. It's built from a liquid cooled 35 HP Big Block. It's got everything, hi compression pistons, billet rods, billet cam, hi-rev kit & roller rockers. According to Al it will put out 60HP @ 6500rpm. It should be plenty to move this sucker. Thanks George!

I guess that should be the next step... A Harley V twin, or a big S&S.

I guess if you want anything close to the power to weight of the yellow spider, this is what it'd take. Find some good chain, hehe.

So Whipper how did you move the t-20??? Did you keep it on the frame rails and make a pocket in the body for the engine clutch or did you shift the trans over? Enquiring minds would like to know.

Nice job (of course). Thanks for posting pictures as you go. I love watching it come together.

Excellent!

Good Idea

I found in my limited experience with the T-20 that tensioning it can be difficult when you remove the jackshaft. I tired a square u-bolt with brackets to hold the idler sprocket and it didn't hold up. Now I'm trying my version of a commercial tensioner called a "Snap-Idle". If it doesn't work I hope you don't mind me trying your idea. Nice work Whipper.

Looking good!
