are you gonna be selling the 350RX chassis? id love to have that as a roller.

**SWIGIN** · 09-28-2010, 05:00 PM

Um........no

I doubt that will ever be for sale.

What ever happened to the motor did it ever get built?

**the great gazoo** · 07-20-2011, 06:29 PM

I think another member here has it.
Oh, I gotta question, was/is there a donor Ascot roller, Swigin? I'm looking for an FT500.

**SWIGIN** · 07-20-2011, 09:11 PM

No, no roller, I just bought the head off ebay.

A member on this site bought the Ascot parts from me but I am going to put it together for him when he gets all the parts needed yet.

The bottom end is split and the crank is out and is ready to be sent out to Powroll to be stroked soon.

I can hardly wait to see the "member's " finished product lol. Word @ says he's going all out on this one............

Now come on, I already fessed up to having got this engine from SWIGIN for a small price. I know it's just been too doggone hot to work on anything and I haven't been up to PA in awhile. Working too much down this way, but it keeps me buying parts. Reinforced frame, inverted front end and maybe a extended HRE swinger before it's over with. I have a +2 durablue swinger, but have not had the best reports on the durablue swingers, so I may have to get one newly made. The build is progressing slowly and parts are building up in my living room! LOL I don't think Wayne wants to build this engine in the house. LOL I was going to use a set of nos 350x forks that I have, but I sort of liked Jason Halls inverted front end, so there is now a cr125 inverted front end kit being made for me. I have the forks and the brake system and the atc250r front hub and brake and I'm shopping for an axle. Just waiting for Jason on the kit, but I have to send him my 350x lower triple so he can use the stem.

OK, I finally have a small update to the Ascot 460cc motor.

Today I installed the sleeve into the 350x cylinder. Hopefully more updates to come sooner then before...lol

Really inspired by this build. In my free time, I've been doing some of the steps before crank work.
Got this bored today.

**big specht** · 04-21-2013, 07:25 AM

Are you going as far to put the head on too???

**TheRealFatShady** · 04-21-2013, 12:53 PM

Yea I intend to. It's not my main focus, it's just something I want to do in my free time with whatever spare parts I still have. Plus it gives me a chance to learn more about machining and fab work.

I'm not sure I want to attempt to do the welding on the head given I have no TIG access, and I'd likely burn through the aluminum head.
