Motorcycle Engine into my Nova

[novarally]

Sounds like you?ve got it all planned out!

I would imagine 400bhp will be lively enough! Are bike engines very torquey?

This one at 1340cc and with the turbo makes 200 lb/ft torque.

Very good for a bike engine. I seem to remember my 1400cc 16v Vauxhall motor on throttle bodies was about 140 lb/ft.

Finally got some progress, to where it has an actual wheel on it!!

Yes! I believe the rear track is 71 inches.

The rear wheels are 10.5 inches wide.

And I'm contemplating a change of pedal box as well. I'm not a big fan of floor mounted pedals, so I may revert to bulkhead mounted 'hanging' pedals, so I've got these;

There's been some progress, so an update will follow soon.

Now there's a diff (Quaife), rear dampers and the beginnings of driveshafts.

The rear uprights have been machined from billet and it's all ready for assembly at the back end.
