Blackbird engine

Recommended Posts

Could be interested in a spare lump, but more info required.

 

What year is the engine?

Carbs or injection?

If inj, how do you get the HISS to work with no ECU? Why no ECU?

Nova dry sump + Pace scavenge pump?

What is the provenance of the engine? How many bike miles, when was it rebuilt by Mistral and why? Had it undergone a failure? What state are the clutch and g/box in?

What car was it in for RGB? Assuming class A, how did it beat the Busas? When/where was the one race? As the regs say "standard" I assume no tuning work? (Head porting, removal of balancer etc.)

Mike,

 

Too many technical questions for me!

 

Please call Rob McDonald @ Mistral 01702 541421 & he'll give you chapter & verse.

He assures me it is "blueprinted" ( no head work etc.), has an injection head (whatever that means!). I haven't used it for 2 years, but it's been properly stored/oiled/turned over.

 

The oracle has the answers!

Hi Rod.

 

I did, in fact, call Rob at Mistral on a separate matter, so took the opportunity to ask about your engine.

He said you were a man who would be prepared to haggle, so I e-mailed you an opening bid (using blatchat profile). Did you receive it?

If you reply to me with your lowest "bargain clearance must-go-today" price, I'm sure we can start a dialogue.

Cheers,

Mike.
