No I don't have those. I'll get the Enco right angle from a shop
here in town. Did you use the Enco boring head as well?  If so,
I'll just buy that one too. I'll  go out today and get those.

BTW the engine is completely apart. I want to use a dry sump system
is there anyway that you know of to incorporate a Barnes or Moroso
pump to the front housing? or should I even mess with it? Also do
you have a DXF file for the slide throttle. I'll have the CNC water
jet cut those out. Anyone else need any while we are cutting? can I
use Delrin for the slide instead of teflon?
