I finally got my motor back! Brake cleaner can for size reference:






The spacer I am pointing to is for the lock up clutch. It mechanically engages at a certain RPM so the frictions/disks are not overwhelmed with the horsepower.


This is the starter motor:



The countershaft sprocket will have a driveshaft yoke welded to it:



The round black thing is the clutch slave cylinder, the water pump is behind it:



All the wires are coming out of the stator assembly (generator)



That thin thing is a spacer plate for the clinder block. It lowers the compression from 12:1 down to 8.5:1 give or take. This is necessary for the obscene amount of boost I will be running:



The 4 ignition coils. Good by Sir Lucas, I'll have lights and ignition uninterrupted!

This is a great build with so much time and effort put into recording in words and pictures. Can you help me with this question please, Is the top arm inner pivot point is in the same place as the original pivot point? Regards Davy
