I was so happy to find the site. I hope to get to know you all well and perhaps help and be helped as we all turn. Wrenches on our favorite bike. Here are a few pictures of my '72 custom. It's bored to 1030 cc, using an RC engineering big block. I look forward to getting to know you all better.

Nice build. Have you put many miles on it? I know they dont recommend street riding with the RC block because of lack of cooling fins. I use one on my drag bike and it gets hot even with just that running time.
 
I have probably not put but 150 to 200 miles on it. My block is leaking. The material it's made out of his porous so I'm going to disassemble it and seal it with Glyptal (per my good friends at Cyclex). And yes, it does tend to run hot.
