Thanks, George - I appreciate that. I've been watching the lump on eBay that is a "VAX" engine. It's broken from flinging a rod off the crank - but it's all there. If it doesn't break my financial threshold, I'll sign up for it. I'm not afraid of the welding on the case - I can make it stronger than OEM ..... and invisible! I'm just looking for a Twin project to hang together for a rider. I don't care if it's numbers matching or whatever ..... I'll probably use an India Iron Barrel bike for a chassis. Before you purists out there roll your eyes - it WILL be all Enfield - and it won't be laying fallow under a bench someplace .... it'll be generating smiles! I'm betting that my rather conservative riding habits wouldn't break a properly assembled one. If only Buick made a motorcycle ....... Heeheehee!!!
