You can likely put a spacer on the driveshaft chaincase side behind the bearing. Then on the jackshaft behind the bearing on the clutch side. losing 1/8" of splines for the clutch will be no big deal and the bottom gear will be fine the same was as well.

thats awesome, nice work.
Thanks for the ideas, I think I will try that. The chaincase will be moving out from the chasis so Im not sure I need spacers there, the clutch side I can spacer off the chasis for the drive shaft. And as you know the jackshaft sticks out on the clutch side so I need to make a spacer to fit there anyway I can just make it a bit smaller. Essentially moving everything to the right a bit (when sitting on the sled).

You are going to want to shim the driveshaft on the chaincase side not the clutch side. Otherwise your drivers will need to be moved on the shaft.

well I dont want to clog up your post. But I was thinking about pressing the drivers. Im thinking I am confusing myself here without looking at it and just putting it in words.
So the driveshaft is only so long and the chaincase can move on it side to side. The only problem is the length of the splines for the gear to go on. and 1/8" is not much that Im losing so there should be plenty. Are you talking about a shim on the driveshaft itself to fit the seal and bearing so there is no slop? Or am I confused. I agree not moving the drivers and the shaft would be ideal. Essentially just move the chaincase and jackshaft if needed.
I should start my own thread but my plans have changed so many times now I wanted to wait til I have a plan set in stone. haha.
I wont take up more of your space after this, haha.

No problem. . . Yes a spacer on the driveshaft between the seal and the bearing. You don't want the driveshaft to walk in the bearing.

Well I am back from vacation. Thanks for all the kind comments.
Anyone local have a secondary clutch a could borrow for a month or so? I need to get the motor placement figured out left to right in the chassis.

Side plates are temporarily mounted once again. Wish I would get the head soon so I can continue planning. Tonight I hesitantly put the gas tank on and was worried that I may have no room. It appears as though there is enough room. I think the head is 6-8 inches tall. Likely more 6 than 8 and 8 would be more than fine as well. Depending upon room it may change the header design a lot for the good.

Some pics with the head sitting on it and carbs. On vacation all this week so nothing is going to get done. . . , going to order mandrel bends for the header though this week.

Did quite a bit of work in the past two days. Got the chaincase close to being mounted. Had to mill some clearance in for the motor mount bolt. Moved the engine to the clutch side about half an inch. Think I may likely be moving that back. Should be getting the rev bearing block tomorrow to ee what room I have after mounting that. I think it likely sticks out .375" or so.
Worked on the supercharger mounting tonight as well. I will be milling the super bearing holder and tensioner tomorrow. Moving the engine back to the mag side of the sled more will help with this as well.
My header material is ordered. It is going to be tighter than I wanted getting around the chaincase. But should be still very doable. May have to get creative with a new oil tank though as not sure I want the oil tank right next to the exhaust. I know skidooinit had his mounted in the front. I may either do this or mount it outboard of the chaincase as there is a good deal of room there.
That's it for now.
