Did many parking lot top ends on that free air. If I recall it was 60 hp. Put a Duclo clutch on it and Dyno tuned to 65 hp. It flew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were 45HP for the 340, 50hp for the 400. http://www.reproductionvintageparts.com/bob/74tnt340400fa.html I have a '73 with the aluminum bulkhead. I've been collecting motor parts for it for the last 2 years. I have 3 complete 340's and 2 complete 400's and several sets of 440 cyls and heads as well. I'm setting it up to race in the 0-400cc ice oval class. Ported and all tuned up on race fuel I hope to make about 65HP with the 400. I have a set of factory twins and a set of decker twins for it. Hope to get it set up and on the track some time this winter. 34mm D slides. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have all the stock cowling and seat and everything too. This one should be under 300lbs all set up on the ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could just toss the back on the tailgate and lift the front up by myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
