[QUOTE="Big Matty P, post: 2195, member: 815"] I've been a big Ogri fan for ages and fancy building his Norvin Armageddon. I was wondering if it would be possible to build a 'new' engine from the parts that the VOC have remanufactured. I would hate to take one from a Shadow and certainly wouldn't want to cut off the gearbox as I have heard has been done in the past. I have some engineering experience (whether it would be enough for this I am not sure) and I was hoping some of you would have an idea of how much an engine from parts would cost to buy and more importantly how difficult it would be for me to build. I have an uncle who loves his bikes and has a Shadow but I don't see as much of him as I would like as we live at other ends of the country so I would have a little help. I am guessing that I would probably be biting off much more than I could chew but if the cost isn't too high and the spannering not ridiculously intensive then I would love to have a go. Anyway, I would appreciate your thoughts, thanks :) [/QUOTE]
