The 114" project

This is great stuff! Thanks for keepin us in the loop Tote!

Nice Tote. I think you just solved the problem of why i had reversion on my old build. I didnt even think about that before. Good thing that manifold is going in the ol garbagggee. Its nice to see a free simple test done while paying attention to every detail.

keep it up.!

Hey Tote!

Very cool demonstration, really opens the eyes!

There is always so much more to think about..........

Wonder of wonders! That water test is awsome!! Now, how can I get my SE manifold for my CV44 to behave like that? Or can I?

Of course you can. It's just keeping a constant taper from the carb to the valve with no interruptions or mismatches on the way.

Of course actually doing it seems much more difficult than that.

well #1 start from scratch #2 weld and remachine yours, #3 modify a sportster version #4 modify a sportster stock manifold,#5 modify a early S&S E manifold. I have done all and none are a 5 minute fix

Otto had to make a custom adapter to join the S&S single bore induction breather to the G3 carb on the custom intake manifold.

so, here's the breather adapter fabrication sequence.....

Nice looking job there.

Is this a 4.0in crank and a 4.25 bore?

[hornrocker]

Very cool, thanks for the update. I gotta get back over there again!

4-1/8" x 4-1/4"

Great work on the finished mount for the a/c.


What's Otto think of that SS induction system. I am looking for what to use on my new build and keep coming back to the same one you have. All the pro's always said no to the forward swept ones but everyone likes these and the dual runner as well.

Gotten too quiet in here again.

We need an update!!

well the tins are out to paint, and frame and misc parts are out for powder polish and chrome. The heads and manifold are waiting to be tested. so the engines can be finished up. & ther is other Paying jobs to be done while we wait on stuff coming back. and of course always race junk.
