The Intake Manifold will be changed to a side inlet so air cleaner can be mounted low.

Henry,

You DO KNOW that using a single bearing gen head as intended with the correct bellhousing and drive parts is so much like cheating!

That is a very sweet plant coming together there!

Thanks rcavictim,

Damn! I don't know if I should feel guilty or not.  

The origional SAE-5 Housing and SAE-6.5 Flywheel I purchased and posted pictures in the begining of this topic is spec'd for engines to run up to 3600 RPM. I purchased two Flywheel/Housing setups spec'd for 1800 RPM so now I have the correct setup installed. The differance is the 1800 RPM flywheel is larger in diameter and slightly thinner. But it is heavier also. The housing is thinner also. I will be putting the 3600 RPM setup away for possibly another project. Who knows. I guess I should take pictures of the differances of both so people know what to look for.

Damn tootin' you should!

I just installed the air cleaner assembly this evening. The air cleaner with the Vacuator Valve is sized for 900cc to 1100cc, 1800 rpm engines.  I will take pictures once I get the correct intake manifold installed. I could not believe that the manifold and gasket only cost 31.00. I can live with that.
Almost have everything to to complete the engine. It is tempting to fire it up but that will not happen until It is ready to take a good load.

Not giving in to the temptation of firemupitis is sometimes just too hard for some but it is the right thing to do.  Stand proud sir, and keep your finger off that starter!

Here are som pictures of the air cleaner and electrical box for the generator.
