I have bits and pieces laying around and would like to make use of them.
First, I have an 850 motor that needs to be built. I also have a Megacycle 56000 cam and lifters in like new condition. I do not have any experience with this cam. Is this streetable? Does it have a good idle, approx 1200? I am mostly in the 4000 rpm range or lower. Is this cam impractical? I have no complaints with the original Norton cam. What is your experience?
2nd...Molnar products sells engine plates to fit a Commando engine in a slimline frame. I can either have the motor sitting vertical or sloped. The sloped version allows the Norton logo on the timing side to sit horizontal instead of vertical which, visually, is a big deal. I also see that it requires the use of the Commando primary cover. Try as I might I have not found any pictures of this arrangement. Can anyone out there locate photos and post them? Done it yourself? Pros and Cons?
