Just a 1200 with big head, cam, single sidie and all the usual stuff.
I was very interested in your use of a single sidedraught carb. I have said on a number of occasions that while a single sidedraught may not have the 'presence' under the hood that duals have, the infamous wank factor, in many applications it really is the better choice for a number of reasons.
When correctly configured, one of these will flow enough air to satisfy the performance demands of even a well tweaked engine & the higher airflow volume through fewer vebturi's can allow better tuning.
The capital outlay is also less & of course, jet changes are half price when compared to duals.
I look forward to seeing how this engine performs as I am convinced that overcarburation is one of the real problems that face most users of the dual carb setup, particularly on a street engine, but in your racing application this will be put to the test.
I think that, initially at least, you're on the right track.
