good price (Y)
I recently picked an engine up that had been sat for a number of years.
All I did was spray a bit of wd40 into the pistons and turned it over by hand a few times and then fired it up! first go!
If its had fuel sat in the carbs, give them a good clean out too

Picked it up today and looks like it's all there, turns over , has all gears, there is no gear lever, what do you guys use? I'm not sure
wether to go for paddles or lever, If I have a lever I want to pull on the gear-lever for up and push for down, did I see someone on here had a cad
drawing for paddles?

You can buy a short lever to fit the splimed shaft. (Posibbly AB? ). I literally chopped and drilled an old lever for my home made shift.
Your choice lever or paddled, might be driven by your choice of column.
Various threads on hear about the differs the set ups and how

I've managed to put the ending Ito the engine bay, not sure how I should position it, has anyone got any detailed pics? My exhaust ports seem to
be close to top chassis rail, the engine is sat with the sump flush with the underside of the lower chassis, I have taken some pics, just need to
upload them

Unless you are making your own exhaust then pick one up and use that to position the engine.
Gear change, look on eBay for a monkey bike arm, made of steel so you can bend, weld or tap with ease and only a couple if ££

You probably a little to high and need to drop the sump below the chassis rails by an inch
loads of pics, look in mine theres a couple of good ones

I've now dropped the engine by 25mm, looks much better for exhaust clearance, I just need to finalise the position of engine, anyone got dims or
pics?

With reference to the gear linkage, apparently it's quite easy to drill holes in one of these cheap "pit bike" gear levers from ebay
(and then connect cable or rods, depending on what you prefer):
http://r.ebay.com/7QN5JZ
If you go for cable shift, some people seem to suggest using push/pull cables used to control outboard motors on boats! (in other threads on here)

I use 2 rods one to the pit bike gear lever into a triangle pivot near the top of the chassis the other down the tunnel
Works great.
Thanks
