Be patient cuz I'm posting this for - slingshot1000
I believe this is an old SP600 with a 400ex engine install.

View of top front and bottom motor mount (right side) I fabricated out of 1/4" stainless angle, along with original oil lines that were given a little "gentle persuation" to fit into place

Kept stock oil cooler and tank (left front)....had to make 'em fit somewhere. Used the carb off of the SP600 motor, works great! Don't really care how she looks, already looks like something out of Mad Max is what my wife tells me, I think it's the aluminum fender stay I made to match the skidplate

And here she is.....in all her glory. Ready to go out in the rain! It does rev a little sooner than the stock 600 motor, but it also has more POWER.....and now electric start instead of that damn 10* outside trying to kick-start it's old, tired, cold blooded *** at 4:45am to go to work..........Tim Allen would be proud!

Thanks johnsls......I didn't know how to post pictures.
Took her out for about 30 mins tonight......ran like a champ. Motor just had top-end rebuilt. Gonna take her to work tomorrow....about 40 mile trip one way. Hopefully everything stays together.
Thanks for the support on the project johnsls! :D
