Here's the 79 engine in a 74 or 75 frame (rear section with mounts, the front is a ness hard head) Kicker, master brake cylinder and exhaust:Īnd the motormounts are the same as pre 79, direct drop in. So don't hesitate to buy one, this is chop cult so you will chop it up! lolīut serious don't cut the frame apart! it is the donor for a XLCR replica or tad big XR replica! Ow yeah, and it came without an oilfilter! if you don't want to give it a kicker and don't have correct exhaust pipes you can get another 80 or up gearcase cover and bolt it on and you are golden! The only "odd" thing for the 79 is the gearcase cover with his high up master barke cilinder mounting and rear exhaust pipe. the oilbag and batt.case are different, the rear fender is different and the fender struts are different. the frame is used until 81.īecause the frame is different than pre79 and past 81(evo type) frames there are some distinctive differences. it's the same frame (and engine cases) as the XLCR but with the tail struts cut off.

so almost all 79 engines have the old el ign removed for points or better el ign systems.įurthermore the frame is sortoff overstock XLCR. It was the first IH with electronic ignition, but that ignition was crappy to say the least. It has the "evo style" oil pump.(better than previous) the master brake cylinder is mounted high to accommodate a kicker, because the Master cylinder is mounted high the exhaust needs the rear pipe to go in another route. The main difference is that the 79 uses a different gearcover.
