It actually would have been a lot easier if the frame had been right side up!

Just showing how smoothly it runs. No harm done. Remember these things run at 7000rpm at 70mph. 100mph is 10,000rpm. Revving a properly warmed up engine does no harm. It's revving a cold motor that causes damage, which I never do.

They are so smooth running though, I bought it after the first test ride. I hit 100mph at 10,000rpm on this bike. But it really needs a 6th gear. With that, it would be a much better highway bike. I love the later 400cc Supersports as well and the 500's, but still no 6th gear on those either! Hell, Ducati didn't add it until 1991 or 92...

@@jfrance130, I repaired a flat on a rear tire on one of these 350's for a gal back in the 1970's. She gave me a bunch of crap because I had to remove 1-2 of the mufflers to get the rear tire off. Maybe the dealer could get these bikes raised in a way to avoid removing any mufflers, but I was dealing with limited resources and means. Such gratitude, was glad when she left. My dad had the first 4-cyl 500. I was never a fan of having more than 2 cylinders on a bike. One can only legally drive so fast and the added weight of a 4-cyl engine never impressed me. I also preferred more torque at lower RPM's on twins. I had 2 Honda 450's, one was a 1968, the other a 1970, both CL. My last bike was a 1977 650 Yamaha twin which was the best bike of the 3.

@@paulturner3553 To each his own I suppose. I've always liked the 4 or even 6cyl bikes a little more than the twins, unless it's a Ducati twin! I test rode an R1200 and then a K1200S back in 2008 and the K1200 made the R feel like a snail. One of my first bikes was an 82 Yamaha 650 Maxim, and it was a fast sucker, although not really a looker. Nothing else sounds like these 6cyl CBX1000's! ua-cam.com/video/MBbskqcgs_o/v-deo.html

Thanks! Took me a few years, but it's fantastic and runs so well now (and pulls like a train). Next 5MGE is already built and going in my MGB.

You betcha! My own design. Ever since I saw my first LR, I've wanted to make one! There's a Warn winch tucked in there too!

Thanks! This is the 3rd one I have restored. This one is my favorite.

I also love the 45 Win Mag. The 450 Mag Express is very difficult to find and really is a dead cartridge, I was just fortunate to get some with the revolver. With modern powder, it would probably be possible to reload the Win Mag's to the same (if not more) power of the Mag Express.

The 45LC cylinder is pretty rare. I've seen very few with that cylinder. The bead blast finish is also less common I think. All of them had the same barrel lengths. I collect stuff in 45 Win Mag and had been looking for one for a while.

It must have been towards the end of the run because my .450 Cyl doesn’t look like they finish machining it. I thought about having it reamed for .454 Casull. But have been on the fence about it.

I can’t get my cylinders to change out. What’s the trick? I want to try the .45 win mag Cyl but can’t get the rod to come out? Don’t want to damage the gun.

Working on the MG now. The engine is ready to go.

I thought about it, but those stick up way higher than I wanted and could impede the airflow to the radiator.

I believe I still have the original owner's manual somewhere with the name of the previous owner, but not sure where it is. I remember it was something unusual and I might recall if you mentioned it.

@@jfrance130 Richard Schulz was his name. Would have been the original owner.

I don't think that was it. Sorry. If I find the manual, I'll update this post.

@@jfrance130 ok, thanks!

Running Ashcroft 4.37 gears and limited slip diffs.

Thanks! Not as fast as a V8, but still plenty fast, and what a sound!

Thank you!

Thanks! I love em. I have another one with ITB's that will be going in an MGB GT. I was going to go with the Electromotive system on it as well, but now that the company folded, I don't know! Makes me wish I had looked a little harder at Megasquirt in the beginning. I assumed that the TecGT unit would be fairly easy to tune, and it is, but if you're starting with basically zero ecu tuning knowledge, it takes a while to get everything dialed in. I'm over 70 versions in on my tuning file to finally get it sorted.

@@jfrance130 dude just order a micriosquirt or the better unit i am a cheap ass so i got the microsquirt .stay away from speedunio arduni ecu it has timing control issues .but one cool thing with microsquirts is one can use a cheap tablet as a dash of guafges heck that costs 500 bucks ior more with holley or what ever to have a lcd screen if you wanted to rig one up even can do tuning via Android with it .just a neat option they have

This one's name was Mola. Owned for 23yrs, but it was time for someone else to appreciate (and ride) her more than I could.

Should be about ready to start that project, right?

@@alexanderwademd Funny enough.... started a few days ago.

I have three of them. One of the best built motors of all time, IMO. I've finally got it running and driving very well.

I had Delta do two sets of cams for me. They do a good job. I decided not to go turbo, because I don't really have the engine space for it, and the clutch is not that big on these motors.

@@jfrance130 cool i been wanting to get Delta to do cams for 5mge and honda 350 four motorcycle. i would love to chat with you about specs cam and gear head stuff .Oh i am in east TN .and after i get shop built hopefully this year /winter next ill post videos and restore a few cars

@@jfrance130 yea clutch up grade options{ from memory} marlin crawler 4x4 web site and 7mge stuff listed that way i forget some of my recherché but marlin crawler can help and 7mge pressure plates are the same and like a 1991 22re pick-up stuff i looked up a bunch of part number years ago via rock auto and found way to do it to 5mge i may be getting off a bit but i think what i typed is right .so a high performance pressure plate for a truck or the news supra with fix weak pressure plate issue we have .ATTN i hope the grammar is readable

I just went with the factory ground cams. They work just fine.

Thanks! Finally running much better now!

Should have posted link in the info section. The write-up is on Paco Kelly Leverguns. Yep, started out as a .357. The bolt and mag tube are original, but everything was heavily modified to feed the rimless cartridge. She's a treat to shoot though!

Currently holding 8rds, with just shortening the mag spring. Could probably go to a lighter spring altogether and get more.
