[QUOTE="Bill Thomas, post: 34840, member: 485"] Hello Seeker, Do you mean build your own engine, Or just put together a lot of different parts ? If the last type, lots of Vins are a mixed up load of bits. It's been many years since Vins were made, When I bought my first one in 1965, It was already JUNK. Just how they are worth so much now seems Mad. You see many Vins for sale with Non matching numbers. There are still many engines, Twins as well as Comets, "Under the Bench ". It would be better to look for a Rapide engine and build it Black, There is not much differance. The Comet frame and parts are the same as a Twin, So it would be better to buy a Junk Comet and look out for a twin engine later. Good Luck Bill. [/QUOTE]
