Engine compartment size?
« on: September 01, 2012, 02:36:48 PM »
  Could someone tell me the engine compartment size on a Simplex (1950) I am thinking of picking up a frame I was negotiating for last year, and I have sold the motor I had planned on using.

About 13" to the transmission uprights x 13" high to the gas tank cross bar. Width can be anything you want! If/when I do another non simplex conversion, it will be a GC motor,as they fit really well.

Chainmaker, where do you live?  I just picked up 3 frames with front ends, and not much else, so these would be perfect for you, and cheap too!
