Hey Brad,
Most of those went on my old 69 Ambassdor that I sold a few years ago.
If you have an extra frame laying around let me know as I am always
looking for another. You can still use the same heads without a problem
and they usually don't get damaged when the motor seizes up. You can
bolt a T3 or G5 swing arm to a loopframe, as long as you use their rear
drives. The swing arms are 2mm or so shorter than a loops, but is still
usable. UPS will take the frame with no problem. I have shipped many
with them. You could use everything in the motor as it is and just
replace the crank, cylinders and pistons to turn it into an 850.

| Hey Paul, I sold you stuff on ebay! from an old v-700 hope those transplants are still going. So I parted out another ambo and have a frame and engine w/matching #'s. they ussually don't sell to high for the hassle it would be to ship. So I'm thinkin I could start here on a sorta _slow_ hooligan bike for my 16 yr old son. the engine is seized and I was just going to unbolt conecting rods from the bottom and drop the whole upper parts into the trash. the heads MIGHT be recoverable. then I would bead blast the case before putting some new top end on. would I need the 850 heads?how about the cam? can I put a 850 t3 or G5 swing arm on a loop? i'd like the rear disk. right now I'm watching a loopframe _disk brake_ fork & triple trees on ebay, not sure if I'm ready to put out any $ on this project yet. I need a cheap winter project just not sure if this will be it. thx, Brad ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
