well, i wouldn't consider that the easiest way to build a shee engine, unless you plan on dropping some serious cash into one with all new parts or custom ones. but if you insist on buildin your shee this way then more power to you, on the upside you'll gain tons of knowledge about the internal workings of your motor and you can find parts almost anywhere. Personally i would try to find one that needed a rebuild or has something wrong with it. just my 2. welcome to the HQ, and good luck.

I agree. Unless you are going all aftermarket, it will cost way too much.

hit up the for sale section on here, or check the auction watchs. there is always some good shee-it in there.

I have most of my my parts coming. But the problem is i need to get a engine...should i make one(like buy the parts)? or buy a blown one?

Once again, are you going to build a slightly modified motor, or are you stroking it out, going w/straight cuts, hinson basket, override tranny, pancake bearing, cub cyls, etc.... If you are just building your typical slightly modified shee(pipes, air filter, maybe advanced timing, reeds) then I would look for something complete. By time you piece together every nut, bolt, seal, gasket, gear, etc. you will have spent way less money buying one complete to start with.

Agreed. People part out banshees simply because all the parts sold individually are worth more than the whole bike. The only way its worth doing piece by piece is if almost every part is going to be aftermarket.

The whole motor...do you have any pictures? send to [email protected] or IM me at GTRboy1999

 

Thanks everyone

no, no pics. they look just like banshee motors.

when i do take pics they go on e bay. 1 running, 1 needs a top end.

to basically build an engine from scratch you are going to get reamed up the ass. There are a ton of little parts that you dont think about in the bottom end. I mean, its not a shitload, but for the most part its oem type washers and bolts and all that good stuff.

 

Buy one of the ones off nyuk, he's fair with his pricing, you'll be getting what he says it is, and all in all you'll have a good transaction.

 

If you wanna do a top end, maybe some porting in there etc etc, go with the one with the blown top end. If you wanna just drop one in.....go with the one thats running.....its up to you

[NYUK]

the one just dropped in compression it`s not blown up.

Yeah Nyuk is very trustworthy around here. He's done tons of business through the HQ and I've never heard a single complaint.
