Got to work on the installation pretty much all day today!!!! Here's what the swingarm/IRS looks like now with the new engine plates.Like a tank!!!! Typical 4 bolt adjustment-Carriage bolts so only one hand tightening/loosening. I'll add my push/pull adjuster when everythig critical is in place to verify it's easy to access. The engine ended up flush with the bottom of the swingarm so no need for a skid pan!!! The technology for an automatic back in '78 wasn't light,this engine is a heavy!!! @182lbs. for a 400cc the horsepower to weight ratio is very low. Had plenty of room- no pipes in the cockpit and every nut and bolt is accessible. I have to lower my transmission bracket to allow for possible sprocket changes in the future.When I put the chain on the engine -to-tranny it's very close to the casing on the engine- I like lot's of clearance for a loose chain situation.
