Motor Mount Shovelhead
Will a shovelhead engine fit in an evo frame?
I know it will fit but how much work is it? Modify motor mounts etc.,?
I know it will work I just am wondering how much work will beinvolved. Do I need to adjust the motor mounts? i have a bike with a evo going bad and want to throw a repop shovel in it. That is what my famly hadwhen I was a kid and I love they way they look and sound.
i want to thank everyone. The frame is an aftermarket evo rigid. im already working with a 4 spd tranny in it. i guess the real question ahd to do with the motor mounts and the answer was pretty much what i assumed. does anyone make a shovel styled evo? i tink i heard ultima did, this would be a lot simpler i bet.
Yes.
Since you didn't specify which frame you're trying to install the shovel in, we'll assume it doesn't matter since you're changing everything. I'm guessing that you've got the intake, exhaust pipes and everything else for the shovel because the evo parts won't fit. Plus you'll have to modify the exhaust mounts because they'll be different, too. And the final drive will require some modification because neither the stock evo or shovel final drives will be compatible with your new creation.
Basically, you're building a custom bike from scratch.
The hard part is modifying the top mount, which you'll have to cut the old one off and create a new one from scratch. Get the bottom bolted down after you've verified that the engine alignment is correct before taking your measurements for the top mount.
The bottom is not as big of a problem. Start by welding up the old holes and grind them off smooth and flat, then take some paper and run your dirty fingers around the outside edge of the bottom of the motor, and press in and turn your finger at each bolt hole, and you've created a template to drill the new holes. Same goes for the tranny.
If you do not get the locations correct, your engine will not be aligned in the frame and then you've got major problems. If the engine is not square in the frame, or the tranny is not square in the frame, or if the engine is not square with the tranny, or if the engine is square with the tranny but the two of them are not square with the frame, you've got major problems.
This an extreme oversimplification of a difficult job. Building a custom bike is not something I would recommend, but if that's what you want to ride, then get out there and do it.
