Well, I'm in the process of finishing my 408 LS build and putting it back in my 99 Camaro and already looking for my next project.
I have decided I want to revisit my first build, the one that got me started in the crazy, irrational, extremely expensive hobby of making things go fast with an internal combustion engine...
The bike was my dads that he bought new in the mid/late 60's and helped me rebuild when I was in Jr High probably 10-15 years ago. He says it's a Ruttman? If I remember correctly we used the original 3.5hp Tecumseh but had some issues with the exhaust port being cracked and had to JB weld. I believe the motor has since been thrown away so I'm going to need to pick up a new one and would be looking for suggestions.... I see a lot of the old flat heads floating around and the newer overhead valve models.
Thanks guys
