    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

V8 motor in your frame

Nice project. Home grafted engine. He's got a few (hundred) machining hours tied up in that engine project for sure. Way more interesting that shoving an american V8 in a bike chassis.

Very cool! I hope he invests a few more hours to get some wider/more modern rubber on it though.

Yea that tire isn't gonna hold up to all that torque

But if your looking for a production v8 muscle bike, boss hoss makes a 350 and a 502 bike
 
That sounds amazing. You know I think the old V12's in the Jaguar XJS were only 4.3 or 4.6 L, something like that. I wonder how that would work in a bike frame.
 
What I want to know is what the heck did that motor start out as? The carbs and top ends look like motorcycle bits, perhaps Honda?

It looks like a true OHC Hemi the way the plugs go into the heads between the cams.

What is a "true OHC Hemi"? As far as I understand, every Japanese four cycle ever built is a "Hemi", or shall we say, has a hemispherical combustion chamber (five valve Yamaha heads excluded if you want to be picky).
 
what cc?

what cc?

while it is a v8 i wonder what cc it is
if it's made out of two honda engines, it may be no more than 1500cc
the engine seems comparatevly small
i like the rear tyre being oem, and not some modern wide 250 or something, makes the bike that more retro ( = cool )
