I tried to snap a couple pics of the carb clearance as well as the motor mount area.

The cb350 tank clearance is amazing. I should only have to weld some nubs to the frame for the rubber pucks to slide onto and a quick rear mount.

I think I have a lead on a cl77 motor that is locked up, I just need to track it down. Maybe I could mix and match stuff like the transmission and head to go dual carb? If I keep the CA pistons it should up the compression a smidge front what I have read. Hell, maybe the CL motor could be salvaged and skip the whole dream idea.

I can take one this afternoon. Is there a VIN code listing posted somewhere for future reference?

Good catch Jensen! I see the breater tower in the pics, and the serial # beginning with 11 not 10.

I assume the breather tower is a bonus?
