Progress has been slow but there has been some pretty big steps made. The motor was sent to my good friend Wayde Johnson of T8RZ porting and performance whom has a great reputation of building some serious horsepower engines that last. I only gave him 2 requests I wanted 10,000+ RPM and I wanted it to make power all the way to that point, the rest he was given free reign. After doing some measuring of the port heights he concluded we would need to add a shim under the cylinders to get the port area large enough for what we were asking it to do. This also required custom domes to be cut that would protrude into the bore of the cylinder to gain back the compression lost by shimming the cylinders up. The head was sent to the Crankshop back in February and was finished at the end of march. Another Major issue was the bent rod, being we were going to be turning some serious RPM out of this thing I wanted the crankshaft to be built to the task. It was also sent out in February to Northern Crankshaft, they had some difficulty sourcing a new rod but eventually they were able to get everything together and shipped back to Wayde in late June. The chassis itself was dropped off at a friends shop to have all of the tubing repairs final welded. He also has an awesome 14' CNC press brake so I believe the plan will be to have him fabricate the aluminum inner tunnel liner/skin. He is very busy with contracted business and will likely only be able to get to it after hours or when his schedule permits. In the meantime I've also made some progress in finding the one sled that is still missing. I spoke with the potential current owners daughter who confirmed he owned a tube chassis snowmobile that matches the area, timeframe and description of the one I am looking for but unfortunately once asking for photos to confirm whether or not it is in fact that sled, all communication ended and my messages were no longer being answered. I was able to get a phone number for the suspected owner whom I did leave a voicemail for some time ago. I just do not want to be overly pushy on the subject. In the meantime I'll upload some more photos of the missing sled I was able to turn up.
