[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 74065, member: 98"] well im not sure how i did it or what happened but im starting to get some good collaboration and some insight over on the saunders forum and the interest is gaining. There are three of use trying to make this mod happen and all of us had different angles on how to do this and were all discussing the problems that need addressing in good way to help us all..... i found out yesterday that early 1000s 75-77 had different piston cut out than the 78-79 yrs ....i got this info from a cam place that makes cams for 1000 and 1100 engines saying that if you use there cams on 78 and later 1000s and 1100s you have to cut the piston cut outs bigger .....now these cams are even hotter than the stock cams from 75-77. The stock cams may work on later engines and honda may have lessen the piston cut out as a cost saving thing with milder cams that they started using.....but this is an issue that i have to look into thoroughly.....i might have to go with the 79 1000 heads and cams if i cant figure this out to my satisfaction .....im sure the 1200 has cut outs too and everything will have to be measured for clearance..... i dont want to put something together that might be to close in tolerance or clearance to be reliable.... im fixing to go outside and test fit the frame after posting ....ive got the 1200 motor blocked up off the gravel and going to put the frame right on it ....its much lighter than the motor and i can handle it ok by myself .......
