Just got some machining info and this conversion is amazingly thrifty if you plan on a basic build... In any build there are constant costs which really do not change no matter how big or small the engine is.

So getting the 94Bs machined for the T5 case is $150.

Case savers to go 10mm in the case to 8mm studs. $30-50 worst case.

... Evertyhing else is a constant!

The most difficult part will be getting the 2.1 mains from Europe... Might have to call in a favor from one of our European buddies or suppliers here ... Or if the bearings are perfect reuse them, slim chance but possible.

So essentially for less than the cost of a custom counterweighted T1 crank you can be rolling in a T5 conversion!

More to come....
