Tease

Here are a couple more, wow is this thing impressive . going to have to get some bigger props , have some 34x12's for my zdz 210 but according to the specs that's way too small . calling for a 34x18 or a 36x12-14 . I do have a 36x14 falcon with pretty fine tips ,that might work .. anyway time to get this beast mounted ..

Sweet!! Love the sealed rockers and welded fittings to the collector ring... 2 things I wish Moki would change to !!

I think I have a couple 34" and 36" props from the Valach210 that you can try if you want.

Thanks Trev may just take you up on that , you know the drill pay $300 for a prop you can't use, buy another and it's still a little off LOL. have a wall of them now . Found a little vid of it running . Just noticed it has 2 exhaust outlets, pretty cool . The ignition wires run into the back of the engine where the coils are mounted,don't know if I like the idea of exposing the coils to all that heat but it will be a very tidy install as the ignition wires are neatly placed beside the intake pipes and run into the back of the block where they are hidden ..

A few shots of the back of the engine and the exhaust ring . the cylinder heads are billet aluminum with Honda valves..

Have the aluminum parts ready for paint. The screws they supply are flat head and way too small . the stearman uses phillips dzus . they also have the screws spaced far too close,so fixed that up ?? trying to find some screws that sit a bit more flush ,they are the correct diameter now but sit a bit proud .

Might as well add some updates of the stearman
