Is your friend using a 1937- 1940 V8 - 60 ? A fellow in Madison
Heights built one about 30 years ago . As I recall cooling was the main
bugaboo .
I put a V8-60 in my 1931 Ford when I was 17 . The Model A 4 banger had
a LOT more power , the Guzzi twin probably does too !

Now that I have your attention, the friend of mine who's building the
flathead Ford bike using loopframe running gear is in need of some
brass nipples for his rims since he damaged some getting them apart.
Anybody have a few to donate to an interesting, worthy cause?

On another note, we just got back from the Davenport Iowa swap meet, saw

about 5 loops, one had a 4-cylinder Crosley engine in it, very cool. Ran

into Mike Skaggs who had just bought this wierd Silver Pigeon scooter,
you'll have to ask him why.
