Its awesome somebody does this these days!
I'am sure Burly would be thrilled to list it in the Bonneville archives when you run it there! Pls finish it.
Just be carefull with high revs and type 3 fan shrouds as there is a limit at what that fan can run..

I am mostly building it for the street as for El Mirage it may not be legal to run it more fun on the street. Barry is aware of me building this tanker. Thanks for the feed back.

I think to make things a bit easier is to open the bottom area where the transmission is so it can be lowered as well as the engine will sit lower too.

Kool! I'm somehow seeing it with the cylinders sticking out of the sides so you don't have to run a fan at all!  |

Only the valve covers should be sticking out a bit. But you still need the fan to help cool the engine and to re charge the battery .

I am going and have my buddy extend the tanker by 24 inches in the center or so this way I maybe able to have the engine relocated where the shroud will fit better under the other half of the tanker.

Updates on my Belly Tanker project. I decided to add 25 inches in the center to give me more room for the Engine and trans and for my legs making it more comfortable to drive on the street.

If I was to put in a flat head I would install a V12 Zephyr motor as I have in my 32 Roadster . But with the VW air cool engine will be more reliable and no worries on radiator and extra cooling and will be more fun to drive on the street. I have not decided yet if I will put in a 36 hp or a 1600 cc .
Thanks

I will be using the type 3 fan shroud as it will fit the best under the other half of the tanked. I am also showing the type 1 shroud as you can see it is a bit to high .Few more pictures !

A friend was throwing it away and I knew what it could be use for . But most likely will be rapped in fabric or leather to be more comfortable .

The type 3 shroud is an excellent idea! It cools even better then the type 1 shroud, I feel. Just be carefull with too much RPM, as it then will kill itself.

I think just a stock 1600 cc will be plenty of power for this tanker no need to have a bigger engine.

Think so too. Much longer transmission gears would probably come in handy ;-)
