convert VN V6 to V twin

[ngitar]

does anyone know of a vn v6 Buick 3800 motor thats had the 4 back cylinders cut off and used the front 2 to make a working V-twin engine ...i know it sounds like a waste of time but i want to know if anyone thinks its possible..the idea is to use the motor in a Rat bike ..i'd love to hear constructive advice

Would be cheaper to get a v twin motor or even a 2-stroke..

sounds kinda cool, ive seen it done once with a clevo. there would be a fair bit of engineering involved, if youve got the skills give it a go not like V6s are hard to find for cheap.

Some of you may not realize, but a buick 3800 is actually 3 v-twins stuck together, making it a 24 stroke engine.

This real clever guy who used to be a member of this forum told me that.

main problem i can see is where your bearings are going to be for the camshaft and crank

if you were going to all the trouble of cutting up a v6 you would be better off putting an 8 in it.

I've seen it done in SC magazine one time, Its a hell of a lot of ####ing around and custom machining..

looks like i'm going to quit before i start..V8 bike would be way to heavy for me..i guess its not a simple mod after all....might have to save up for an old indian chief..that will take 10 years ,at least

Well you are right with the fair bit of engineering involved and if you were capable of such a thing I suspect it'd be in the category of not needing to ask to begin with.

vaild point, on another note my old boss built a V twin for his harley, using heads from a plane and a custom engine block that he machined himself.

what is sc magazine

[spauldj308]

Street Commodores, but it was actually Street Machine that run the article. A guy cut down a Ford V8 - Windsor or Cleveland, I'm not sure, into a V-twin. A lot of screwing around on a carb fed motor, let alone a fuel injected number with ECU controlled spark. Sure, it's possible, but why bother? Better off starting with a 253 or something.
