All bundled in a +80 block, big valve(for an 1100) head, flat top Russell Engineering pistons, and a full bottom end refresh. I cannot wait to see how it performs.

Absolutely in love with this 1100 build. It may be one of my favorite builds to date. It's got all the parts that make it uniquely mini, with some really choice quality of life updates.

For those asking. Here’s the new engine stand plate welded in place on a pre-A engine. Perfectly balanced and bolts right up. So pleased! Please don’t judge my ugly welding.

Very pleased with the quality of our newest products on the store. The engine stand mounting plate. (Some welding required) to mount your classic mini engine to your standard engine stand.

Man finally starting to get this 1100 built up and assembled and it’s looking so sweet. Gonna be such a blast to drive. High torque + low down = lots of fun. Now we just need that head back from the machine shop! Video in progress as we assemble this beauty.

The 1100 block is back from Gibbons Motorsport here in NC. Ready to get painted, the final hone, and built up so we can get our deck height measurements for the head shop! Very excited about this phase of the build!

I actually wrote a script to move everything from IG to BlueSky. But buffer lets me cross post to multiple platforms at once. So I wrote the post there, hit post and it goes out to BlueSky, IG, and FB at the same time.

Hey folks, big update! I'm moving from Instagram and Facebook to Bluesky for more creative freedom and privacy. I'll use Buffer to post on all three for 3-4 months, then fully switch ceasing all posts on IG and FB. Thanks for your support!

Some really excellent touches to the 1100 mini for @its_jerryy while we wait for the engine from @gibbonsmotorsports. The beautiful @thirdshedmoto bulkhead cover. I kind of want to replace mine as this is such a beautiful upgrade. And of course a new classic steering wheel with lap timer flare to...
