now that you are working on this bike, you need to join the "vintage is pimpage" group once you figure it out. you will probably have to do some sprocket tuning to get 70mph out of that.

you will learn when you say engine and trans. they are pretty much the same block of metal, just most of your transmission is classified as your bottom end. but, if you buy an engine for it, you have also bought a transmission.
