I looked at my 440 sitting here but I can't finish stuff on my cart lol. Have a chance at another job I might get more fun time we will see.

The Xtra power and RPMs from a sled engine are lots of fun

Little cool here today and I was a little too lazy to get Vicki out of the garage so I took Suzi for the post office run. She is a little stiff on shifting until she runs a block or so. I guess the clutches and belts need a little warming up to shift properly.

Just found this thread and read through it all, Man O Man it gave me a lot of inspiration to go with a snowmobile engine and give up on the bad crankshaft Harley. Good job Ray

That is a tougher question in your case. Suzi could not really ever be restored properly. So it was not much of a negative choice changing to the 440 engine. Your cart on the other hand is one of the nicest HD carts I have seen. So at the end of the day it comes down like many of the Barrett Jackson cars. Restored stocker or Resto Rod. Most of the time my choice would be resto rod BUT something as nice as your cart I would think where I wanted to be at the end of the day. My 80 HD ironhead also ended up resto rod but there again I started with something not so nice.

P.S. I am sure you aware that HD/Columbia carts with 4 wheels are few in numbers. In fact my 82 HD is really the cart that Harley produced for a short time and things like mufflers are made of unobtanium. Very recently I learned that situation also existed for something not thought much about ,the brake cable. But again like the muffler I had to fab something up. Columbia picked up production after that but some parts are different. You tell the very late harley and early columbia by the trans tunnel like hump in the drivers area.

Check out what a 340 cc sled engine does on the latest carsandcameras video on you tube. That donor also gave the a 440 cc unit to put on cart for a future video.

Some stock 340 sleds are close to 70mph top speeds.
