Please read whole description.  This is a very rare motor that very few Harley "experts" even know about.  In 1984 when Harley was shifting from the Shovelhead to the Evolution, some of the Evos were actually built FROM THE FACTORY on shovelhead cases with shovelhead flywheels.  These motors can be identified by the stars stamped across the motor ID boss where it would be on a shovel, in front of the front lifter block.  Some people call them "STAR MOTORS."  The ID on these motors was moved to the left case under the rear cylinder. You can also tell it has heavy flywheels because of the distance from the case to the flywheel when you look through the timing hole.  Has new cam, lifters, pistons rings, valve guide seals, etc.  I built this one very mild for reliability and with low compression combined with heavy shovelhead flywheels, you can really get that cool, ka-thunk, ka-thunk idle the shovels are famous for.  You just can't get later evos to do that, as their flywheels are eight pounds lighter....and before I get a bunch of scolding about low idle, low oil pressure, learn about roller motors before you comment.  THE TOP END OF THIS MOTOR IS ALL FACTORY EVO.  Rocker covers are replica Shovelhead only.  They're $500 a set by themselves.  I painted the cylinders black and with the contrast, it really looks like a Shovel.  This motor will baffle even the most experienced Harley guys.  I even called HD to get some info on how many of the early evos were built on shovel cases, but they had no answer...nor knowledge...because all they care about is Twincams, I guess.  Please don't "know it all" me, but if anyone has RELIABLE info on these motor production numbers, let me know.  Call 423 285 0050 with questions.  PLEASE SEE MY OTHER ITEMS.  I'm selling out of all my Harley stuff--lots of evo FXR/DYNA motors, frames, transmissions, etc.

The Tesla Model S is an incredible machine. We'll cover the operating experience soon, but right now I've got a story to tell. It started on a Tuesday morning, when a malfunction of the Tesla's charge port kept me stranded 90 miles from my office.

Stig outed as Ben Collins – again

Mon, 23 Aug 2010

The Stig is Ben Collins It’s a game Top Gear has played since the days of ‘Black Stig’ (Perry McCarthy – F1 almost was) – Who is the Stig? Not only has it provided the Beeb with an endless run of free publicity as everyone and his dog speculates on the Stig’s identity, they’ve even made money on the back of the Stig’s identity with Stig-focused games and goodies from the gloriously tacky range of Top Gear ephemera. And this last week Stiggy has been in the news as he tries to get his memoirs published – Stig: The Autobiography – much to the consternation of the Beeb, who believe his contract gives him no chance of revealing his identity.
