"Reubs is that the old iron pushrod GM motor? if only there was an alloy pushrod head for it then it would be an interesting upgrade to the A series providing it can rev and wont be too heavy. Either way carb it and use it as a pump someday or generator.  ..."

"So picked up the Pulsating Pulsar yesterday.   it idles a bit high, but goes well still. Its almost a pity that I'll strip it for the electrics. It would make a good bush basher, or even a nifty shooting rig."

"Nice job onthe mounts! Very clean weld bead there. Looks professional! It things look like a pro has done them, the inspectors dont look as hard.   I know this is gonna sound silly, but does the oil filter come off?"
