My question is would it not be better/preferred to remove the old stator from the block? I have read stories where parts of the fried stator has deposited "crap" into the block creating other types of problems..... but then if you've got the engine out far enough to remove the fried stator why not just put a new one in rather than fabbing the extra gearing and loss of "space" the new external unit will take up? I've got an 80/1100 with a fried stator but I'm not convinced as to which approach I want to take. My intent is to strip down this 1100 into more of a cafe/race configuration; therefore . thinking the external generator/altenator is excess external baggage. Now, also have an 83/1100 interstate and an 84/1200 interstate; hence my desire to strip down the 80 for the thrill of the Missouri Ozarks a little bit above the posted speed limit! ........swapping the 83 over to the 80 frame is also a thought! ......
