I don't know bro, kinda looks like you bought a box of pamphlets and plastic... There a bike in there somewhere?

I was ALSO going to guess that it was a leg shaped lamp that you were awarded.  Possibly Italian.

Couldn't have been the 'leg'.
The box didn't say Fraa-gee-lee (fragile) on it so I knew it couldn't come from Italy like the leg did.

I love you guys!  One of my all-time favorite movies!

YES!  There is a bike in there.  The PO did a HELL of a job crating this thing up!  The bike was already 100% disassembled, but everything is bagged n tagged.    :)
From what I know the bike has been sitting since '67 with a "blown motor".  The PO I got it from picked it up as a project recently and disassembled it to find the problem.  Turns out #1 cylinder spun the main bearing on the crank.  Looks like the original owner shut it down right away because the crank damage is pretty minimal, can be reground without a problem.  In fact, because I'm having custom rods and pistons made I may be able to get away with only doing a -.005 under grind, the PO said the crank shop he took it to said it was within -.004 spec.

Heads appear to be in great shape with no broken cooling fins.   +1    Also I gauged the cylinders, which looked in ok shape with no damage, and they are still are the factory 2.751" bore.  So great news there!    :D   There is 1 broken fin on 1 of the cylinders, but I think it should ok.

Annnnnnd...  Those "pamphlets" in there are paper gold my friend.  Not only is 1 of those the parts supplement catalog for the '59-'60 Chief, ANOTHER 1 of those is the parts supplement catalog for my '58 Trailblazer.   HUGE score!!!  Another 1 of those books is some kind of Interceptor catalog or enthusiast magazine, didn't get a chance to look at it tho.

Also I noticed something out of the norm.  Both camshafts were stamped "EX2" which would indicate an exhaust camshaft on both the intake and exhaust.   ???

Back in the day, it was common for people with Redditch Bullets to use an exhaust cam in place of the intake cam as a mild performance gain. Perhaps this was also being done with the twins.
