thats what i was looking for, thanks. any write ups on the phazer/exciter hybrid?
I have the 540 mounted in my SS440 chassis which is lighter than the SRV . It looks factory and surprises quite a few people. Since they think it is a 440. I plane on putting dual flatslides and performance pipe next.
I don't know of any step by step write ups but here is a thread from Vintage sleds with some pics that will give you an idea of whet the final could look like.
Basically here is the deal.
Exciter 440 bottom end. The top of the crankcase must be flycut (opened up) to allow the Phazer cylinders to drop in (Phazer sleeves are slightly larger in OD). Easy job.
Phazer cylinders can then be used but some of the cooling fins must be trimmed to match the Exciter cylinders so the Exciter tin work will fit. The cylinder mounting holes on the Phazer cylinders must also be bored out to match the Exciter. Again these are not hard jobs. Lastly the Exciter head needs to be cut to match the Phazer bore diameter. The Exciter head is used to match the tins and spark plug holes in them.
You then use the Phazer intake/carbs or some like to used Vmax 500/600 flatside carbs as they are just a better carb. SRX 440 airbox and an Aaen Phazer pipe and you will has an approximately 70hp Exciter that looks like the factory built it.
Real cool and real fun ride.
