Hockey puck transmission mounts \m/

Ebay cat back, and cherry bomb glass paks. Should sound just like a Silverado

She's my long time compatriot. A 1974 CB550. I used to do all kinds of buying and selling of motorcycles, you know "fliping". Don't find myself doing that anymore, but this bike has stayed around. Its the best bike I've ever had; just the best all around.







Finished hard mounting the cherrybombs to the trans cradle. Seems so weird not to hang an exhaust but the engine/trans move as one unit so does the exhaust.







And I started on my heater core return hard lines. As seen in red.

Heater core hardlines made up. They mate up to the Porsche soft lines.











I'm really stoked at how well and fast this is going. Not much more but to route the coolant outlet to the Porsche outlet. Then rebuild the engine/clean everything up, and turn the key.

THEN on to "stage II". I gotta rebuild like everything else... ugg. But that's just spending money on suspension/tires no real hard work.

Started with my adaptor plate.






And simply drill holes.








And then mockup, just for fun... cause I can't take it anymore.

[Qingdao]

Well, I just gotta say that I thought that getting the engine to fit in the 986 was going to be the challenge... BOY was I wrong. That was super easy compared to making a draw through M90!! But its done now





^^^ That's the 4.3's LIM




^^^ that is a 3/4" chunk of aluminium that has holes drilled in it.




^^^ there is the blower with a spread bore/square bore plate bolted to it.

FINALLY done with fabrication/welding. (except for the A/C hoses)

The supercharger and carburetor are all mounted up. and the belt is routed... note the poor picture addendum LOL










^^^^ that's a stock idler pulley... I just happened to find a little hole in the ac bracket that had just the right threading and just the right spacing to make for PERFECT supercharger belt wrap.
