You did good. Needs a lot of work, obviously, but it's a great start.

Are you planning to do the engine tear-down and reassembly yourself? I've had mine apart several times, and I can advise you on gotchas that you need to be aware of.
I've also got some Classic Mechanics magazines with a couple of great articles on Enfield twin engine work that I can scan and email to you.

There are a number of oddities in these engines that you need to be aware of, and a couple of worthwhile re-eingineering tricks that make them more reliable and less leaky.

And I do have a good transmission outer cover with gearshift lever return spring and kickstart shaft and pawl that I can sell you. I'm working on setting up a paypal account to facilitate selling of my surplus stuff.
I'll also take a look at my collection of primary cases and see if I can find a good set. (I have a few that would need welding to make usable) I may also have clutch parts, but I'm not certain of that.
Follow that link for the gearbox cover on Hitchcock's and you can backtrack to the original parts manual. I think the one I started with is a 1959 Meteor, so you'd need to look for the 1957 Meteor book to find your engine.
They switched back and forth between the pushrod actuated clutch and the scissors type several times over the years; my 1959 model has the scissors clutch.

btw, judging by that blue gas tank in the background, I'm guessing you have a BSA project going on in your garage as well.

...and the last one...what do you think?...is this worth bolting into a Bullet frame,and starting from scratch?...could be a cool Super/Bullet/ Meteor hybrid...about 425 lbs,with 700cc's...if you folks think that it'll bolt into a '99 Bullet frame,without TOO many additional brackets and such,I'll probably do it...and bug the crap out of all of you for the next couple of years...

I'd do my best to track down the guy who put that Series II Interceptor engine into a Bullet frame and find out what he had to do..
Enfield engines and frames were always pretty interchangable; the old Meteor Minor was a 500 twin (same cases/heads and cylinders as your 700) slotted into a frame designed for a 250 two-stroke. 
I'd highly recommend getting a pair of the twin cylinder head-steady plates, and welding a lug to the frame to hold it.

Thanks,Carlo...I'm going to call about the engine price and shipping today...cross your fingers and wish me luck!Here's a picture of a 1953 Meteor,in what appears to be a Bullet or model G frame...

[bullethead63]

...and a 1954 Meteor,also in a Bullet frame...

[bullethead63]

...and a 1955 Meteor,in a Bullet frame...so I think that we can make it fit!Probably just a matter of making and welding on some tabs and / or brackets...my frame is black,black fenders,with gold pinstriping,and my buddy Rich has a chrome/black/gold Deluxe tank...got some NOS black/chrome Girlings shocks,too...it's smelling like a project,gentlemen... ...thanks for all of your help,people!

Bullethead, those frames are not unique to Bullet models.
That's just the standard pre-1956 Royal Enfield frame. 

Theoretically, they're the same as the 1956-on frames, in that there's no major difference between frames for the different models.

This project is doable, I'm just nitpicking.
