I've wanted to do this for years! I just finished a 2 cylinder Ty 4 engine. I had a case that was not in real good shape and a couple of 1.7 heaqds that were OK. I welded up the oil holes on #2 & 4 and welded up 4 cam folowers , had the 1.7 heads fly cut for a big bore (96MM) P & C and have 1/2 of a 1911. For now and for simplicity I installed a standard 32/36 setup. I installed it om my engine start up stand and it started right up and ran fine , 60 PSI oil pressure at idle. No need to send a picture because it looks just like a regular engine although it sounds like a motorcycle.
I have a question for the forum, any suggestions on a carb set up?? I have a couple of old 1.7 bus carbs with the manifolds , I can use one of these carbs and center mount it . I can just continue to use the 32 MM weber and block off the 36 MM side??? any help. AL |

You might get some info from Leonard Millholand, if he is still around. He was doing that for years. Google "the legal eagle light plane". He also used to say "don't cut that case" or advertised as the "better 1/2". Good luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
