    Ok-
    500cc liquid cooled push-rod V-twin with 10:1 compression ratio and revs out to 9500rpm no worries.

    500cc Kawasaki triple two stroke engine with 28mm Mikuni carbs, fitted into a ZXR750 frame. Goes like a very goey thing. and , yeah , that IS scarey.

    A mate of mine is building a couple of these,one for a customer,and his own as he goes along.Carrillo rods,I forget what pistons,he's fitted a Sportster oil pump,lots of other mods to make them a usable engine in the modern world.A couple of weeks ago he was making moulds for some new crankcases,making them a bit stronger etc.Will be interesting if he ever finishes them.

    even better ... its for sale.
    The pink spark plugs (Lodge ?) are a nice original touch. But the carbs are way anachronistic, amal Monoblocs, not suitable at all. Lot of money for an engine thats an awful long way from running and I suspect may be a bitzer.

    It might have been a Continental indeed.Was in a copy of Australian Performance Streetbike.
    Can't remember what it came out of but was over its hours.
