That sounds like a nice set up, and not dissimilar to what I’m aiming for.Yes the flywheel is a straight swap - I happen to know a guy who has a spare
Standard inlet cam, exhaust cam with inlet profile, ISTR them being either Spitfire or Thruxton profile? Memory isn't what it was when I built it.
Head ported & flowed to take 32mm carbs.
It's still remarkably tractable at low revs, and ticks over like a standard T140.
I did get hold of a Tracey Hurricane style tank/seat a few years back which would have suited it well, but I'm getting a bit old for that kind of bling.
It’s Spitfire profile cams BTW. I’m using them too. Mine is based around a ‘long rod’ 650 motor, I’ve got JS lightweight Carrillo rods and MAP 750 billet pistons that’ll be running in Morgo barrels.
Haven’t quite decided about head and carb specs yet.
I won’t be racing it, but I will be revving the tits off it !
I’ll have yer flywheel, I’ll message you.
A T140 is a beautiful thing in its own right mate… don’t need no stinkin’ faux Hurricane bling !
