Can you elaborate on "not impressed"? Not rev as high as expected, too lazy down low, too peaky, hard to tune the carbs, idle too high, etc?
Exactly what I plan.When I decided to stay smaller, I had Pete grind a 1007B, do you think that's a good choice? Looks like a have a press on gear L100 to sell.
I'm working on compression. I have repro aluminum 34 heads, was considering even doing some welding in the chambers to make them smaller while they are still new.
I'm planning on a lightened steel flywheel and 9" clutch, after removing the heavy ring I can mill the back to resemble an aluminum wheel, not certain of the finished weight yet but would be a compromise between an aluminum wheel and a normal steel wheel.

Just be careful taking too much away from the flywheel. Someone here (Maybe Dale- AKA Bored & Stroked) had a tale of a lightened steel flywheel coming apart.
I believe B&S worked with RAM clutches and got a lightened steel flywheel made that has reliefs in the back like you are looking to do.
