Also picked up a set of low compression wisecos for this machine. Pretty excited about that. I like the idea of them over the head shim.

Sweet!

Got some stuff done. Engine is good left to right. Jackshaft bearing retainer is mounted. Machined down the supercharger bearing support. Waiting for a few parts then likely will work on the mounts for the supercharger and get that complete. Then onto the header. After that it will be the header. Then the steering. . . Intercooler and plenum. That will likely complete the engine part of the project. At least the hard parts. I got what I feel will likely be the best deal of the entire build. A vortech bypass valve. I paid 25 for it on ebay. Thgpought it likely was to good to be true but got it and a, very happy.

Super nice work - keep them pics coming!!!

Starting to work on the header. I think i may have to get really creative with the placement of the oil tank rather than try to fit the oil tank, muffler, and all the supercharger pulleys on the side of the sled.

As it turns out I did not fall off the face of the earth.

Behold progress. It is all tacked. Only have one bottle of argon at work right now so I need to wait to get the second bottle to purge it to finish.

I have much respect for what you're doing here Dirk! Nice work!

Looks good buddy! Looking forward to see the mufler, oil resovair and super charger setup! It will be stuffed on the right side ;-) Do you think you have to relocated the oil resorvoair to make everything fit inside the side paneles?

A lot more patience then me lol. Love seeing custom stuff like this.

Hope to get some work on this now that I have some more parts from haydays.

Plan to powdercoat everything.

Hoping to put a big dent in this project this week. Got the front spars and steering so I can finish that area.

Then it will be that I just need to buy the final parts, skis, shocks, track, etc.
