The Chopper Compendium

Heat release ceramic coated the outside of the heads.
Made some flange fins and coated them too.

Throttles.

Kwak zx12r units. Older model ones. 44mm butterfly with a 43mm throat.
All the casting were the same. Some machined in places and some not.
Split the linkage in the middle and machined in the castings to make independent pairs.
Made some fuel rails and machined the bodies to take car injectors.
Made some intakes to go with them.

Made up air filters.
Mounted a ford idle air valve on one side and the pressure reg on the other.

Ford escort coil and module.
Ford escort VR and 36-1 stator wheel.
Ford mustang idle air valve.
Ford truck external of the tank fuel pump.

Chevy intake air temp sensor.
Chevy engine temp sensor and a custom head stud mount.
A pair of Chevy o2 sensors.

Mikuni throttle position sensor.
Mitsubishi 320cc injectors.

And a computer to run it all.

Computer test run with simulated input/output.
Dual fuel tables.
Split banks.
1 and 3 paired together at header, fuel, o2
2 and 4 paired together.
Front cylinders tune separate from rear cylinders.

Ok.
So anyone interested in the drive extension or the trans?

Yeah , I would like to see more of that part of your build !
I can understand the eletromic stuff a bit but my expertise is all mechanical (being color blind don't help )

Okey dokey then....
I did not have the trans fully apart this time.
So some of this group of pics are from the internet instead of mine.

I had to up gear this thing dramatically on top of building for strength.

3.44 spline shaft (instead of normal keyed) nut type (instead of circlip) ring and pinion. From Ranchero.
1.26 3rd and .82 4th with the syncros welded on.
Heavy duty side covers.
4 spider diff unit.
The axles are shortened.
I bought these chrome dune buggy axle tubes and cut them down to match. The chrome made the press fit .006 to tight. I had to bore the end castings to fit.

I do not have any pics of the machine work on the inside of the trans case. I modified this long ago.
But.
I moved oil passages and drain backs around.
Plugged and moved vents ect....
All to make it oil and run upside down.

Yes.

The trans is upside down and backwards.

All to make the engine 6 inches lower.
My drain plug before was 3-1/2" off the ground.
With the current changes it looks like I will be an even 4" now.

It is 4 ft wide to the outside of the tires.
Early short axle that is cut 6" a side.
And upside down and backwards makes for an interesting shift pattern. But it seems natural to me when shifting left handed.
