Hey Olev,
I have done that before!!

Almost as radical this time; a friend dropped off a worn-out bottom end from a 1954 A7SS on Sunday (A7SS 284; an early one), that he had bought on my behalf (without my knowledge!), so I guess I better build a bike around it!

All it takes is time, and about $8,000!

Ironically, a few years ago I gave away a complete A7SS engine.

Like every married man, I welcome challenges!

Muskrat, thanks - I hope you can help me; I didn't mention the head I will need!

Richard

But I guess I'm asking too much as no one has bought them or even made an offer
