Lance, That sounds good, but I would be concerned with the torque that
your new engine would provide to the spoke wheels. I doubt that the sunbeam
wire wheels could handle it. I am not an authority on that, but they have
given way to failure in similar applications. I would first consult an
expert in the field and then see if the spokes could be upgraded if
possible. I would always be checking them and be on the lookout for possible
failure. Lou Meyers
