I wouldn't call £12.5k next to nothing! :mrgreen:
ML said:A couple of Tiger 100 (pre-unit all alloy Triumph twin 500cc) motors couple up to a custom crankcase. In this case the rear motor has its drive side in common with the front but the head in reverse. Easy to do as the symettrical head, barrel and camshaft design allows the reversal of the head. The Poms got into this double up of Triumph motors in the '70s. Probably a national pride psychosis against the onslaught of Jap multis. "Ee bah gum lad, we're as good as them, av a look at wot i've done in shed, it'll clear them off" . One was a pair of T100's set side by side as an inline 4. There's another less xenophobic nutter who married up Kawasaki 4s into a V8 and triples smokers into a V5 (the triple having one cylinder omitted). Quality of workmanship was excellent and remarkable performance. Resale value next to nothing!

Do you mean chaincase?
