Default First 130 inch Milwaukee 8 fire up

Well got it in and running will be on dyno trying pipes in the next week or 2. only thing reused is the case.
This is a Suburban Harley-Davidson build


no valve train noise NONE. Using Harley adjustable rockers. S&S adjustable push rods and lifters.
Fueling gave a oil pump and cam plate and valve springs to this build. A TMan cam. Ward ported intake and heads. New valves and bronze guides. Cases cut to make sump area bigger. Custom cylinders and pistons. They will have this kit ready soon. Will be testing different exhaust systems and pipes and maybe a cam or two
11.7 to 1 compression (can be changed by head gasket thickness) 130 inch. I do have a Baker 7 speed so this should be a blast.

AND THESE ARE STOCK SLIP ONS RIGHT NOW

Nice! What combination of flywheels and bore did you use to get to 130”? I have my lower end at Darkhorse now getting balanced and blueprinted for a 124” setup.

There's one on another site that's 4.4x4.5 137 ci & making in the 180s for HP, they're starting to come around. If this one will stay together it should do 250 easy with a procharger.
