Is that the Buick Aluminum Head engine?
G'day 1dn5up. The engine is out of a range rover. All aluminium same as the Buick 215. Rover bought the rights to the engine. the alloy head Buick was a 300. We didn't get to many of those out here in OZ. This motor is popular for it low weight. I hope to get away with the standard front forks but it will depend on steering & trail when it's rideable. because of the dual disc & anti dive brakes I'm thinking of mounting the forks onto a separate fork & increasing the rake in the spacers
I had that engine in the Rover Car with 2 SU carbs. It was a real slug :Shrug:.
Would make a grate power plant for your project. Wish you luck. :clapping:
good engine heavy body.
