We are in the process of putting the bike back together with the new 540 and it should be a screamer! Scott Shafiroff spent some time building this engine to be bike friendly rather than car friendly. Because of the space limitations, we sent the intake along with the carburetor which was gone thru completely and the HB along with the Flex Plate and the new “Mountain Headers”(thanks to those guys for drop shipping them to Scott! and, they are gorgeous!) so everything could go on the dyno together..
The engine is using one of Scott’s cam grinds and he had Brodix make some heads because of compatibility issues with his standard ones. The engine makes over 600 ft-lb’s from 2800-5800. The tranny was sent back to Nessco for the HD TQ Converter with a little higher stall speed and optimized stator! The MT “I” Type tire is going on the back and I can’t wait to get it on the road. The valve covers Scott did for me at no cost BTW are simply gorgeous—see this link to get to the dyno charts and pictures of the engine! I will post again after the “Flying Brick” gets back on the road!
